Shrink-N-Shield® (PVDF)
One-Step Shielding and Jacketing Tubing, 2:1 Shrink Ratio, Polyvinylidene Fluoride Tubing
Shrink-N-Shield (PVDF) combines two proven technologies into a single, easy to install product for adding EMI shield protection to wire and cable bundles with diameters of 1/2" and less. Makes adding an EMI shield or secondary EMI shielding to wire and cable a snap. The product is comprised of a flexible, fire retardant, Polyvinylidene Fluoride tubing and Zippertubing’s Z-3250-CN conductive cloth with outstanding shielding properties. The PVDF polymer jacket is a commercial variant of Mil-I-23053/18 tubing and the special formulation makes it more flexible than standard Mil-Spec tubing while still offering outstanding abrasion resistance. The product has an operational temperature range of -55 to 150ºC. This product is supplied in four foot long sticks and has a length tolerance of +/- ½ inch.
Features & Benefits: Easy One-Step installation Excellent Abraison, Fluid & High Temeprature Resistance Excellent High Frequency EMI Shielding Good Installed Flexibility Lower Total Installed Cost -55 to 150ºC Operating Limit
