SINGLE WALL FLAME RETARDANT (SWFR) TUBING
• Satisfy increasing demand for safety with highly flame-retardant UL VW-1 rating
• Use in confined areas where halogenated materials are prohibited due to their emitting toxic or acidic gases when burned
TE Connectivity (TE) introduces single wall flame retardant (SWFR) tubing, a halogen-free, UL VW-1 rated single wall heat
shrink tubing. TE’s SWFR is a highly flame-retardant, 2:1 shrink ratio, polyolefin tubing with a low shrink temperature for fast
application. Advances in material science and manufacturing efficiencies allow SWFR tubing to be offered at an attractive
price point. It is offered in thin wall (X2) and very thin wall (X4) versions.
BENEFITS
• Satisfy increasing demand for safety with highly flame-retardant UL VW-1 rating
• Acceptable for use in confined areas where halogenated materials are prohibited due to their emitting toxic or acidic gases when burned
• Enable electrical insulation and mechanical protection with irradiated polyolefin jacket
• Permit quick installation with low shrink temperature
• Allow for design flexibility with broad range of sizes and wall thicknesses
APPLICATIONS
• Control cabinets
• Elevators and escalators
• Off-road vehicles
• Computer peripherals
• Refrigerators
• Mass transit vehicles
MECHANICAL
• Shrink Ratio: 2:1
• Size Ranges:
- X2 (thin wall) type
- 1/0.5 through 30/15
- X4 (very thin wall) type
- 0.8/0.4 through 25/12.5
Note: Size is indicated in millimeters, with the first number
indicating the minimum inside diameter as supplied
and the second number indicating the maximum inside
diameter after recovery.
