VTN-200 Tubing Modified Fluoroelastomer Data Sheet Product Description TM 3M VTN-200 heat-shrinkable tubing is highly abrasion and cut-through resistant and can withstand a wide variety of fuels, lubricants, acids and highly corrosive fluids at temperatures up to 200C. In addition to its high continuous operating temperature and chemical-resistance properties, this tubing is very flexible and is easily marked by hot-stamp or printwheel methods. When heated in excess of 175C (347F), VTN-200 rapidly shrinks to a skintight fit. VTN-200 is rated for continuous operation from -55C (-67F) to 200C (392F). Typical Applications Standard Color Because of its outstanding hightemperature fluid performance, VTN-200 Tubing is often used to protect wiring and component covers in aircraft/aerospace applications including electronic control systems and hydraulic fluid transport mechanisms and in chemical plants. Black. Shrink Ratio VTN-200 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 is proportional to the degree of recovery. Standard Packaging Spools. Ordering Information Order VTN-200 Tubing by product name, size equivalent to the expanded inside diameter, package type and color. Always order the largest size that will shink snugly over the component to be covered. Example: VTN-200, 3/16", black, spools.
