Heat Shrink Tubing HDT
Heavy-Duty, Polyolen
Product description
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing HDT is
designed to provide reliable performance
as well as excellent mechanical and
environmental protection. This ame-
retardant product combines the important
advantage of easy handling and
installation with maximum operating
reliability and system protection. HDT
tubing comes with a factory-applied
sealant. This sealant is a heat-activated
thermoplastic material that remains soft
and exible over long periods under
adverse environmental conditions. During
heating the sealant softens, bonds to
underlying surfaces and lls small voids
that might be present. When cool, the
sealant forms a barrier against water,
moisture, dirt and other environmental
contaminants.
Heavy-duty tubing is fabricated
from specially formulated cross-
linked polyolen, providing long-term
environmental protection. The tubing
is also highly chemical, abrasion and
split resistant. Meets AMS-
DTL-23053/15**, Class 1.
Uncoated product (without sealant)
is available on special order.
Standard color
All sizes available in black. HDT-0300,
-0400, -0800 and -1100 tubing are also
available in red.
Standard packaging
Four-foot lengths. Other lengths are
available subject to special quotation.
Ordering information

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: HDT-1100-48A tubing,
4 ft., black.
