Hi-Shrink Tubing PET
PET Hi-Shrink Tubing is designed to streamline the processing of advanced composite parts with our unique linear seam tube solution.
Product Benefits
- Highest shrink percentages of any tubing available
- Eliminates cello lines
- Uniform thickness and consistent shrink %
- Reduce prep times prior to part layup
Made from modified polyester film, the H-Shrink PET tubing offers users a method of applying compressive force to a composite part to assist in ply compaction. This tubing will shrink 70 % in the diameter, and apply a compaction and debulking force to the composite plies underneath.
Technical data:
Breite: 80 mm
Wall Thickness: 0024" (0.0508mm)
Shrinkage: 70 %
Starts to shrink: 150 °F (65 °C)
Max. temperature: 350 °F (180 °C)
Application:
Commonly used as a processing aid to enable tubular parts to be moved between layup stations, or as a means of assisting operators with intermediate de-bulks during ply layup, the tubing's ability to shrink and restrain the underlying material, can be applied to numerous uses in the production of advanced composite parts. The tubing`s high shrink ratio is advantageous when you need to seal a plaster or water soluble mandrel with an irregular shape, as it will shrink and conform to the contours of the part.
