tubing provides tough, semirigid, very-thin-wall insulation and strain relief of
multipin connectors, solder joints and other delicate electrical connections
and terminations. It is well-suited for applications that require dense packing
of components or visual inspection of covered components. It is especially
suitable for applications requiring outstanding abrasion and cut-through
resistance and superior chemical and solvent resistance. Its high temperature
performance meets or exceeds military and industrial standards.
