Versafit V4 PBBs Very-thin-wall, highly flame-retardant, PBBOs imperial-sized heat-shrinkable tubing Versafit V4 heat-shrinkable tubing is offering the ability to pack components and polybrominated biphenyl oxides a cost-effective, environmentally more closely than is possible with (PBBOs). In Europe, these chemicals friendly choice for many commercial standard tubings. Versafit V4 tubing are classified as environmentally applications. Versafit V4 tubing is a can shrink more than twice as fast hazardous substances. very thin-wall version of Versafit, as standard products. This rapid a specially formulated polyolefin shrinking may be important in the Versafit V4 products are UL-recognized with low recovery temperature, prevention of overheating of at 125C, 300 V, and CSA-certified at excellent flexibility, and high flame- temperature-sensitive components. 125C, 150 V, with UL VW-1 and retardance (VW-1). CSA OFT flame-retardancy ratings. Unlike other typical flame-retardant Versafit V4 tubing is typically applied tubings, Versafit V4 tubing is free of where space savings is important, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 90C Continuous operating temperature: 45C to 125C Specifications* Type Raychem UL CSA Versafit V4 RW-3023 E35586 VW-1 LR31929 VW-1 *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
