MT3000
Altera medical-grade, USP Class VI, high-
temperature, flexible, fluoropolymer tubing
Applications
Used for electrical insulation and strain relief of
components that are exposed to high temperatures -
either during operation or during sterilization.
Thin-wall construction is well suited for applications
where pliancy coupled with small overall bundle
size is desired.
Features and benefits
2:1 shrink ratio.
Tough, flexible, very-thin-wall insulation.
Excellent resistance to a variety of fluids.
USP Class VI material, no heavy metals.
Plastic spools and double-bagged packaging.
Compatibility with steam (limited cycles), gamma,
ETO, and dry-heat sterilization.
Operating temperature range
-55°C to 150°C
Installation
Minimum shrink temperature:
110°C
Minimum full recovery temperature: 150°C
