Description
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing SMS is a co-extruded, dual wall product. It is a
composite of a polyolefin shrinkable outer wall and a thermoplastic adhesive inner
wall. SMS tubing does not degrade when exposed to automotive and marine
environments and is not affected by severe vibration, extreme temperature
changes, moisture or automotive fluids.

Features
Applications
Semi-rigid SMS tubing is ideal for applications requiring moisture sealing,
mechanical protection and strain relief.
The adhesive layer is compatible with typical wire insulation and is intended for
moisture sealing and insulation of automotive, RV, truck, trailer, tractor, heavy
equipment and marine wire splices, in-line components, fusible links and terminals.
Shrink Ratio
SMS tubing has a 4:1 shrink ratio. When fully recovered, the tubing will shrink 25%
of its original diameter. The recovered wall thickness of the tubing is proportional
to the degree of recovery.
The operating temperature range is -55ºC (-67 ºF) to 110ºC (230 ºF), with a
minimum shrink temperature of 121ºC (250 ºF).
