Versafit PBBs PBBEs PBBOs 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 flameretardance (VW-1), excellent flexibility, and a low shrink temperature (to reduce installation time). Electrically insulates and protects in-line components, disconnect terminals, and splices. Bundles wires for very flexible light-duty harnesses. Identifies or color-codes wires, cables, terminals, and components. Versafit tubing hot-stamps extremely well. Versafit tubing performs a variety of functions in commercial and military applications: Compared to noncrosslinked materials, Versafit tubing has a higher temperature rating and exhibits better 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.
