Heat-shrinkable Tubing RAYCHEM Tubing Products BSTS/BSTS-FR 1 General Purpose, Heat-Shrinkable Tubing Product Facts Excellent thick-wall insulation and abrasion protection No adhesive can be removed easily Expansion ratios as high as 3:1 Availability in flame- retardant material with FR callout (see Ordering information and Part numbering system on the next page) BSTS has the following agency approvals: - ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) - Lloyds (Lloyds Register of Shipping) RoHS compliant Applications Installation Operating Temperature Range BSTS heat-shrinkable tubing Minimum shrink -55C to 110C is made of a rugged poly- temperature: 90C 194F -67F to 230F mer that resists moisture, Minimum full recovery fungus, and weathering. It temperature: 121C 250F also has excellent electrical properties. This tubing is useful in applications where insulation, abrasion resist- ance, and strain relief are important. When used with sealant tape (S-1305 for flame-retardant or S-1278 for non-flame-retardant), it can provide a watertight system in nonpressurized applications.
