RNF-150
High-performance, thin-wall, flexible,
fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing
RNF-150 is a highly flame-resistant
thin-wall heat-shrinkable tubing
that has excellent durability.
It is manufactured from a modified
fluoropolymer whose properties
include toughness, chemical
resistance, and high-temperature
performance.
A very thin wall gives RNF-150
excellent flexibility.
Applications include insulation,
jacketing, and identification of wire
bundles; light-duty harnesses;
insulation and protection of terminals
and wire connections; and packaging
of components. RNF-150 is not
recommended for use in direct
contact with ketones.
RNF-150 is UL-recognized at 150°C,
600 V, with a UL VW-1 flame retardance
rating and meets the requirements of
AMS-DTL-23053/18, Class 2.
Temperature rating
Full recovery temperature: 150°C
Continuous operating temperature: 55°C to 155°C
Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135°C
