| 3M Heat Shrink tubing EPS-300 is a 3:1 thin-wall, flexible tubing offering the advantages of integral, adhesive-lined construction. The tubing is made from flame-retardant, flexible polyolefin with an internal 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-300 tubing 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. Adhesive reflow will occur at temperatures about 80°C.Information provided by 3M |
