SFTW-202-GYS-1/4 GN/YL - 3M

Product Description

3 M™S F T W-202 GYS is a 2:1 shrink

ratio, yellow and green striped tubing that

o ffers an outstanding balance of

electrical, physical and chemical

properties for a wide variety of industrial

and military applications. GYS is made

of very flexible, heat-shrinkable

polyolefin which is mechanically tough,

chemically resistant, and can be easily

surface printed. The tubing is

manufactured using a special co-

extrusion process.

GYS tubing has been engineered to

o ffer a low shrink temperature of 100°C

(212°F). This allows the tubing to shrink

r a p i d l y, and minimizes heat exposure and

possible damage to temperature sensitive

s u b s t r a t e s .

GYS tubing meets the performance

requirements of MIL-DTL-23053/5 Class

1, and is ULRecognized (File No.

E48398) for flame retardance. It is rated

for continuous operation from -55°C (-

67°F) to 135°C (275°F), and withstands

elevated temperatures of 300°C (572°F)

for brief periods.

SFTW-202 GYS Tubing

2:1 Green & Yellow Striped, Very Flexible Polyolefin

Data Sheet

Typical Applications

The tubing is primarily used for ground

wire identification. The extra flexibility

and low shrink temperature of GYS

tubing make it ideal for shrink-fit

jacketing and insulation of flexible wire

bundles and temperature sensitive

components.

Shrink Ratio

GYS has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely

recovered, the tubing will shrink to 50%

of its as-supplied internal diameter. T h e

recovered wall thickness of the tubing is

proportional to the degree of recovery.

Standard Colors

Green and yellow striped.

Standard Packaging

Spools. Cut pieces subject to factory

q u o t a t i o n .

Ordering Information
