Using a heat gun, soft yellow flame torch, infrared heat source or oven, evenly heat the tubing until it has fully recovered and conforms to the object. Use caution not to char or burn the tubing. Special Instructions for HSTTT TFE Heat Shrink is the most difficult to recover due to its high shrink temperature. TFE shrink tubing must be heated to the gel state 621°F (327°C) to completely recover. This can be recognized when the tubing changes from milky white to clear. Because of the unique characteristics of this material, a controlled temperature oven will achieve the most reliable results – it is difficult to consistently recover this product using a high-temp heat gun or similar heat source. These methods have a tendency to overheat the tube in one area while other areas remain cool. When recovering onto objects, use a temperature controlled oven set at 660°F – 680°F (349°C – 360°C) for approximately 10 minutes is recommended. It is best to place the product on a fiberglass mat or suspend as opposed to contacting the oven rack. Do NOT heat the product above 700°F (371°C), or degradation damage to the TFE polymer will occur. Heat Shrink Installation Instructions Size Selection for Heat Shrink Tubing Generally, the largest tube that shrinks down tightly onto an object should be chosen. This allows the heat shrink tubing maximum stress relief and this will yield the longest service life. Example: A multi-conductor cable needs to be covered with HSTT Type Dry-Shrink ™ Heat Shrink. The area to be covered has a measured outside diameter of .700" (17.8mm). The two possibilities are HSTT75-48-5 and HSTT100-48-5. The proper choice is HSTT100-48-5 since the tube will recover more than HSTT75-48-5. The HSTT75-48-5 will fit over the .700 inch (17.8mm) outside diameter; however, this is not the proper choice since it is smaller than the HSTT100-48-5. In general, heat shrink should recover at least 10% – 20% to reduce stress and yield the longest service life. Part Number Expanded I.D Recovered I.D. In. (mm) In.
