FEP Heat Shrink Tubing
Optinova FEP HS is the go-to quality solution for lamination and bonding in medical device manufacturing.
Why Optinova FEP Heat Shrink Tubing?
- Tight tolerances and customizable shrink ratios ranging from 1.3:1 to 1.6:1, ensures tight, uniform jacketing during reflow, without compromising the underlying structure
- Stable performance: Consistent batch-to-batch reliability
- Minimal length change: Post-shrink length change is minimal with a maximum of 10% (optional 4%), outperforming the industry standard of 10-15%, which improves yield and lowers scrap
- Superior cut-to-length: Clean, straight cuts with no defects
Our stock toolbox heat shrink is ready when you need it for prototyping and fast delivery.
FEP QuickShrink™ Tubing
Our unique low-temp heat shrink solution is engineered to shrink at lower temperatures and fast. Experience shorter production cycles, safer devices, and reduced production costs with Optinova QuickShrink™.
