MT2000-6.0-X-SP (0662694002) - Tyco Electronics

MT2000

Altera medical-grade, very thin wall,

polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing

Altera MT2000 heat-shrinkable

tubing is made of a tough, modified

polyolefin with a very thin wall

construction. It is especially suitable

for medical applications requiring

lubricity, flexibility, and excellent

electrical insulation performance.

Altera MT2000 offers a cost-

effective alternative to FEP while

maint ainin g performance after

gamma sterilization.

Altera MT2000 tubing can provide

electrical insulation, mechanical

protection, strain relief, color coding,

and identification for many medical

components and devices.

Altera MT2000A tubing provides an

inner layer of adhesive. During

installation, the USP Class VI

adhesive layer will reflow around the

substrate to provide sealing or

blocking against fluids and other

bioburden materials.

Altera MT2000 tubing may be

sterilized by gamma radiation or

ethylene oxide with no significant

changes in properties. It is fabricated

from materials that meet the

requirements of U.S. Pharmacopeia

(USP) Class VI plastics (contact with

injectables and body fluids or tissue).
