Product description
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing VTN-200 is
highly abrasive and cut-through resistant
and can withstand a wide variety of fuels,
lubricants, acids and highly corrosive
uids at high operating temperatures. In
addition to its high continuous operating
temperature and chemical-resistance
properties, this tubing is very exible
and is easily marked by hot-stamp or
print-wheel methods. When heated in
excess of 175°C (347°F), VTN-200 tubing
rapidly shrinks to a skintight t. VTN-200
tubing is rated for continuous operation
from –55°C (–67°F) to 200°C (392°F).
Typical applications
Because of its outstanding high-
temperature uid performance, VTN-200
tubing is often used to protect wiring and
component covers in aircraft/aerospace
applications including electronic control
systems and hydraulic uid transport
mechanisms and in chemical plants.
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 color
Black.
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
shrink snugly over the component to be
covered. Example: VTN-200 tubing,
3/16", black, spools.
