Versafit PBBs Highly flame-retardant, low recovery PBBEs PBBOs temperature, heat-shrinkable tubing Versafit heat-shrinkable tubing is a Electrically insulates and protects thermal stability and resistance to cost-effective choice for many in-line components, disconnect physical abuse. commercial and military applications. terminals, and splices. Versafit tubing is made from a Bundles wires for very flexible Unlike other typical flame-retardant specially formulated, crosslinked light-duty harnesses. tubings, Versafit tubing is free of polyolefin to provide high flame- Identifies or color-codes wires, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and retardance (VW-1), excellent flexibility, cables, terminals, and components. polybrominated biphenyl oxides and and a low shrink temperature (to Versafit tubing hot-stamps ethers (PBBOs/PBBEs). In Europe, reduce installation time). extremely well. these chemicals are classified as environmentally hazardous Versafit tubing performs a variety Compared to noncrosslinked substances. of functions in commercial and materials, Versafit tubing has a higher military applications: temperature rating and exhibits better Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 90C Continuous operating temperature: 55C to 135C Specifications* Type Raychem UL CSA Military Versafit RW-3009 E35586 VW-1 LR31929 VW-1 AMS-DTL-23053/5 600V, 125C 600V, 125C Classes 1 and 3 * When ordering, always specify latest issue.
