Heat Shrinkable FEP Tubing for Industrial Purpose

Do you know that every element whether it is electricity, gas, chemical or fuel, when flows from one direction to another, generate substantial quantity of heat, which when crosses the maximum temperature might result in severe accident. This might surprise you especially when it comes for electricity, because normally it is believed that current flows from electric wires, when you switch on, electricity wires apart current they also generate heat when switched on for long hours. Well, this is an illustration of electricity, along with it there are various chemicals, gases, acids and fuel, when move from one direction to another, it generate huge heat when flown at high speed. This flow is of-course a normal flow as part of their working but sometimes due to their long working, the heat which generates, might result in serious hazards resulting in huge loss of man-power and assets. So, now the question arises that how to protect these destructive accidents.

An answer to this question is the use of heat shrinkable FEP tubing system. In-fact, it would not be wrong to say that this type of tubing system has emerged as the best option of transmitting different items in one direction from one point to another. The worth mentioning feature of this tubing system is that they are powerful, can be used for long run and versatile i.e, they can be used for all types of industries, which are involved in production of various elements. Apart from this, these teflon tubes can also be used for various other applications and products for instance, they are also installed in various types of appliances, which are installed in your homes and office. Because, home appliances when used continuous for long hours and if not switched off generate heat, which could be cause of damages.

The properties of heat shrink FEP tubing are referred below:

1. Capable to operate at high temperature upto the maximum temperature of 400 degree F;

2. Chemical resistant that is capable to make smooth flow of hazardous chemicals;

3. They have low shrink temperature than compared to regular PTFE tubing system;

4. They have huge flexibility and do crack on bent;

5. They support optical clarity and everything flowing from them can be witnessed with naked eyes;

6. Superior release properties.

As mentioned above, there are different types of this tubing systems which are developed strictly according to different industries.

• Dual Wall Polyolefin Tubing: This type of tubing system involves integration of movable liner, which supports appropriate shrinking ratio to varied elements flowing from them. An interesting feature of this type of tubing system is that it can be used for different types of material for instance plastic, rubber etc. The reason for installing this tubing system is that due to its dual nature it protects cuts and other damages to wires, cables and tubes, which could happen due to operation for long hours.
  
  
• Shrinkable Tubing: It is one of the commonly used tubing system, which is mainly developed for elements which generate low temperature. This type of tubing system easily contracts and fits on different items of varied sizes. They protect the entire tubing system from moisture, heat, sunlight and bacteria.

Now the question arises which are the industries, in which this type of tubing system is used. As a general practice they are mainly used in telecommunication, aircraft, electronics, and chemical industries.
