What's special about Viton Heat Shrink?
  |
Viton® is a flexible rubber-like fluoroelastomer heat-shrinkable tubing used for protecting wiring, bundling, harnessing and component covers in military and commercial aircraft. It has a superior resistance to highly corrosive fluids, fuels, lubricants, acids and aggressive solvents at low and elevated temperatures up to 200°C. It also provides protection from abrasion, impacts, cut-throughs. It is very flexible at high and low temperatures.
