TE Connectivity Introduces Single Wall Flame Retardant (SWFR) Tubing

TE Connectivity (TE) is introducing SWFR, a halogen-free, UL VW-1 rated single wall heat shrink tubing. SWFR is a highly flame-retardant, 2:1 shrink ratio, polyolefin tubing with a low shrink temperature for fast application. Advances in material science and manufacturing efficiencies allow SWFR tubing to be offered at an attractive price point. It is offered in thin wall (X2) and very thin wall (X4) versions.

Features:

• Satisfy increasing demand for safety with highly flame-retardant UL VW-1 rating
• Enable electrical insulation and mechanical protection with irradiated polyolefin jacket

Benefits:

• Satisfy increasing demand for safety with highly flame-retardant UL VW-1 rating
• Applicable in confined spaces where emission of toxic gasses from burning material containing halogen is undesirable
• Enable electrical insulation and mechanical protection with irradiated polyolefin jacket
• Permit quick installation with low shrink temperature
• Allow for design flexibility with broad range of sizes and wall thicknesses

Target Markets:

• Industrial automation and control
• Automotive
• Appliances
• Building equipment
• Commercial electronics and communications

Applications:

• Control cabinets
• Off-road vehicles
• Refrigerators
• Elevators and escalators
• Computer peripherals
