| 3M EPS-200 is a 2:1 thin-wall tubing offering the advantages of integral adhesive-lined construction. The tubing is made from a flame-retardant, flexible polyolefin with a thing layer of special thermoplastic adhesive. The heat-shrinkable outer wall is selectively cross-linked while maintaining the high flow and excellent adhesion of the inner sealant liner. When heated in excess of 121°C, EPS-200 rapidly shrinks to a skintight fit, forcing the melted adhesive lining to flow and cover the substrate. The adhesive forms a flexible bond with a wide variety of rubbers, plastics and metals. Upon cooling, the adhesive solidifies forming a permanent, non-drying, flexible and water resistant barrier. EPS-200 is rated for operation at -55°C to 110°C. Adhesive reflow will occur at temperatures above 80°C.Information provided by 3M |
