In Stock!Raychem RW-175-1/8-X-SP Heat Shrink Tubing | High-Temp PVDF Clear Sleeve
The RW-175-1/8-X-SP is a premium, high-performance heat shrink tubing from TE Connectivity's Raychem brand. Engineered for extreme environments, this 1/8-inch semi-rigid tubing is made from cross-linked polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). It offers a unique combination of high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and exceptional chemical protection.
Key Features and Benefits
Extreme Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -55°C to +175°C, making it ideal for engine compartments and industrial heaters.
Superior Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to aviation fuels (JP-8), hydraulic fluids, solvents, and strong acids.
Tough Protection: Semi-rigid construction provides high resistance to abrasion, cut-through, and mechanical stress.
Visual Inspection: The transparent (Clear) material allows for easy inspection of encapsulated components and solder joints.
Flame Retardant: Meets the stringent VW-1 and OFT flammability ratings.
