Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301

Flexible, Polyolefin

Data Sheet May 2017

Description

3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing 3M FP-301 offers an excellent balance of electrical,

physical and chemical properties for a wide variety of industrial and military

applications. Rated for 135°C continuous operation, all 3M FP-301 tubing is split

resistant, mechanically tough, easily marked and resists cold flow.

3M FP-301 tubing is rated for continuous operation at -55°C (-67°F) to 135°C

(275°F), and is designed to withstand elevated temperatures to 300°C (572°F) for

short periods. Minimum shrink temperature for all 3M FP-301 tubing is 100°C

(212°F).

Agency Approvals &

Self Certifications

Meets requirements of:

 SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5, Class 1, Class 2 (Clear)*

 AMS-3636, AMS-3637

 UL Recognized, File E-39100, at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C

 CSA Certified, CSA LR38227, at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C

*Formerly MIL-I-23053/5 and MIL-DTL-23053/5

Applications

3M FP-301 tubing is typically used as a shrink-fit electrical insulation over cable

splices and terminations. It is also used for lightweight wire harness covering, wire

marking, wire bundling, component packaging and fire-resistant covering.

Shrink Ratio

3M FP-301 tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink

to 50% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is

proportional to the degree of recovery.
