FP-301-3/64-BLACK-100' - 3M

Product Description

3M™FP-301 Tubing offers an outstanding

balance of electrical, physical and

chemical properties for a wide variety of

industrial and military applications. Rated

for 135°C continuous operation, all

FP-301 Tubing is split resistant,

mechanically tough, easily marked and

resists cold flow.

FP-301 Tubing meets MIL-DTL-23053/5

Class 1 & 2 and AMS-3636, AMS-3637

requirements. It is ULRecognized and

CSACertified at 600 volts @ 125°C (UL

File Nos. E-39100 and E-69751; CSANo.

38227).

FP-301 Tubing is rated for continuous

operation from –55°C (–67°F) to 135°C

(275°F) and withstands elevated

temperatures to 300°C (572°F) for short

periods. Minimum shrink temperature for

all FP-301 Tubing is 100°C (212°F).

Typical Applications

FP-301 Tubing is typically used as a

shrink-fit electrical insulation over cable

splices and terminations. It is also used for

lightweight wire harness covering, wire

marking, wire bundling, component

packaging and fire-resistant covering.

Shrink Ratio

FP-301 polyolefin tubing has a 2:1 shrink

ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing

will shrink to 50% of its as-supplied

internal diameter. The recovered wall

thickness of the tubing is proportional to

the degree of recovery.

High expansion-ratio FP-301 Tubing

meeting MIL-DTL-23053/5 Class 1

requirements for overexpansion is

available subject to factory quotation.

Standard Colors

FP-301, Class 1 (flame retardant)–black,

white, red, blue, green (1/16 "-1" green

only) and yellow. FP-301, Class 2 (non-

flame retardant)–clear. Other colors

available subject to factory quotation.

Standard Packaging

Four-foot lengths, large spools

(21" diameter) and small spools

(8-1/2" diameter).

Ordering Information

Order FP-301 by product name, size

equivalent to expanded inside diameter,

package type and color. Always order the

largest size that will shrink snugly over the

item to be covered.

Example: FP-301, 1/4", 4 ft., white.
