3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing HDT
Heavy-Duty, Polyolefin
Data Sheet
Description
May 2017
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing HDT is designed to provide reliable performance as well as
excellent mechanical and environmental protection. This flame-retardant product
combines the important advantage of easy handling and installation with maximum
operating reliability and system protection. The tubing comes with a factory-applied
sealant. This sealant is a heat-activated thermoplastic material that remains soft and
flexible over long periods under adverse environmental conditions. During heating the
sealant softens, bonds to underlying surfaces and fills small voids that might be present.
When cool, the sealant forms a barrier against water, moisture, dirt and other
environmental contaminants. Heavy-duty tubing is fabricated from specially
formulated cross-linked polyolefin, assuring long-term environmental protection. The
tubing is also highly chemical, abrasive and split resistant.
The tubing is rated for continuous operation at -55ºC (-67ºF) to 110ºC (230ºF).
Minimum shrink temperature is 121ºC (250ºF). Uncoated product (without sealant) is
available on special order.

3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing HDT
Shrink Ratio
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing HDT has a 3:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the
tubing will be 33.3% of its as supplied diameter. The recovered wall thickness is
proportionate to the degree of recovery.
Can be used as cable sleeve, flame retardant, polyolefin for 1 kV or other long term
environmental protection – highly chemical, abrasion and split resistant
Not for specifications. Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum.
