RNF-100 Flexible, flame-retardant, high performance, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing RNF-100 tubing is a high-quality, heat-shrinkable product for a wide variety of uses. It has become the industry standard for insulation, strain relief, wire bundling, and color-coding in both commercial and military applications. RNF-100 tubing meets the requirements of AMS-DTL-23053/5, Class 1 (colors) and Class 2 (clear). It is also UL-recognized and CSA-certified at 125C, 600 V. Made from flame-retardant polyolefin, RNF-100 tubing has excellent physical, chemical, and electrical properties that meet industrial and military requirements for a highly reliable, general-purpose tubing. It sets itself apart in that it offers a higher level of performance at elevated temperature, including mechanical abrasion and fluid resistance, than many heat-shrinkable polyolefin tubings available in the marketplace today. Only a few sizes of RNF-100 tubing are required to cover many substrate diameters.
