Versafit
Highly flame-retardant, low recovery
temperature, heat-shrinkable tubing
Versafit heat-shrinkable tubing is a
cost-effective choice for many
commercial and military applications.
Versafit tubing is made from a
specially formulated, crosslinked
polyolefin to provide high flame-
retardance (VW-1), excellent flexibility,
and a low shrink temperature (to
reduce installation time).
Versafit tubing performs a variety
of functions in commercial and
military applications:

Electrically insulates and protects

Bundles wires for very flexible

Identifies or color-codes wires,
cables, terminals, and components.
Versafit tubing hot-stamps
extremely well.
thermal stability and resistance to
physical abuse.
Unlike other typical flame-retardant
tubings, Versafit tubing is free of
polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and
polybrominated biphenyl oxides and
ethers (PBBOs/PBBEs). In Europe,
these chemicals are classified as
environmentally hazardous
substances.
Compared to noncrosslinked
materials, Versafit tubing has a higher
temperature rating and exhibits better
