VFP-876-1.5-BLACK-100'* - 3M

Product Description

3 M™VFP-876 is the most flexible of the

heat-shrinkable, polyolefin tubings. Rated

at 135°C, VFP-876 Tubing has been

engineered to offer a low shrink

temperature of 100°C (212°F). T h i s

allows the tubing to shrink rapidly,

thereby minimizing heat exposure and

possible damage to sensitive substrate

materials or components.

VFP-876 Tubing meets MIL-R-

46846, Type V and AMS-3587 and is UL

Recognized (ULFile Nos. E-39100 and

E-69751). It is rated for continuous

operation from –55°C (–67°F) to 135°C

(275°F) and withstands elevated

temperatures to 300°C (572°F) for brief

periods.

Very Flexible Polyolefin

Data Sheet

Typical Applications

The extra flexibility and low shrink

temperature of VFP-876 Tubing make it

ideal for shrink-fit jacketing and

insulation of flexible wire bundles and

sensitive components.

Shrink Ratio

VFP-876 Tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio.

When freely recovered, the tubing will

shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal

d i a m e t e r. The recovered wall thickness

of the tubing is proportional to the degree

of recovery. High expansion-ratio

VFP-876 Tubing is available subject to

factory quotation.

Standard Colors

VFP-876 (flame retardant)–black, white

and yellow. Other colors and clear

available subject to factory quotation.

Standard Packaging

F o u r-foot lengths or large spools. Cut

pieces available subject to factory

q u o t a t i o n .

Ordering Information

Order VFP-876 by product name, size

equivalent to expanded inside diameter,

package type and color. Always order the

l a rgest size that will shrink snugly over

the item to be covered.

Example: VFP-876, 1/4", 4 ft., white.
