• High shrink ratio: The tubing has the capacity to reduce to 1/3 of its original size, ensuring a snug fit on smaller connectors.
• Shrinking temperature: Activates at 257°F/125°C, allowing for shrinkage without extreme heat.
• Wide operating temperature range: Maintains performance from -40°C up to 110°C, ideal for harsh environments.
• UL 224 certification: Assures compliance with industry standards for safety and reliability.
• Chemical warning: Contains chemicals like di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp) known to the State of California to pose health risks, important for user awareness.
