The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing (ALT) is a pack of 3 black sections, each measuring 12 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter. These sections shrink down to a diameter of 5/16 inches when heated. They are suitable for wire ranges of 2-4/0 AWG.
The tubing is made from cross-linked polyolefin, which is stronger than PVC tubing and more resistant to burning. It features an adhesive lining that is activated by heat, creating a seal that is impervious to salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight. This lining also provides strain relief.
The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing has the highest shrink ratio, shrinking down to one-third of its original size. It shrinks at a temperature of 257°F / 125°C. The operating temperature range for this tubing is -40°C to 110°C.
It is important to note that this product contains chemicals, specifically di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information on this, please visit the P65Warnings website.
