FEP Heat Shrink

What is FEP Heat Shrink?

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) heat shrink tubing is an essential component in medical device manufacturing, offering precision, durability, and performance. FEP offers superior flexibility, optical clarity, and high lubricity when compared to PFA. The choice of FEP heat shrink is often driven by its lower cost and suitability for applications not requiring extensive heat shrink ratios.

Key Features & Benefits for Medical Devices

Precision Encapsulation – Forms a seamless, protective layer around intricate medical components.
Process Aid for Catheter Manufacturing – Used in catheter shaft fusing, joint bonding, and reflow applications.
Low Longitudinal Shrinkage – Ensures dimensional stability for consistent performance.
Clear Visibility – Optical clarity allows for easy inspection of enclosed components.
Chemical & Heat Resistance – Protects against harsh sterilization processes and medical fluids.

Medical Extrusion Technologies Inc.® supplies heat shrink tubing in its expanded state. Upon brief exposure to heat, the tubing conforms seamlessly to intricate and irregular shapes, forming a tightly sealed covering. Our FEP heat shrink is custom manufactured to your desired expansion ratio, up to 1.6:1. We also offer scored FEP heat shrink which helps simplify removal after recovery.
