Description
High-temp semi-rigid fluoropolymer heat shrink tape, -65 to +200C, fluid resistant
Did you know
- TE Connectivity's Raychem brand has been a pioneer in material science for over 50 years, developing advanced environmental sealing and protection systems. The RT-555 high-temperature heat shrinkable tape was introduced to provide a solution for critical wiring systems in demanding environments.
- The RT-555 is part of TE Connectivity's Raychem line of heat shrinkable products, specifically categorized under high-performance fluoropolymer harnessing tubing. It is designed for applications requiring aggressive fluid and high-temperature resistance, distinguishing it from general-purpose polyolefin or elastomeric tubing within the Raychem portfolio.
- The RT-555 is chosen for its ability to seal harnesses and connectors in the field, offering exceptional resistance to aggressive fluids and high temperatures up to +200°C. Its wrap-around, bi-layer design with a meltable fluoropolymer adhesive layer allows for effective sealing under pressures up to 15 psi, even in harsh environments like commercial aerospace and offshore drilling.
| Model | Operating Temperature Range | Shrink Ratio | Primary Material | Flammability Type | Fluid Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAYCHEM RT-555 | -65°C to +200°C [-85°F to +392°F] | 2:1 (tape recovers min 35%) | Crosslinked Fluoropolymer (ETFE backing, fluoropolymer adhesive) | Highly Flame-Resistant | Aggressive Fluids (Aviation Fuel, Hydraulic Fluid, Lubricating Oil, Water, Brake Fluid, Chemicals/Solvents, De-Icing Fluid, Diesel Fuel, Military Decontaminating Agents) |
| RAYCHEM RT-375 | -55°C to +150°C [-67°F to +302°F] | 2:1 | Crosslinked Fluoropolymer | Highly Flame-Retardant | Aviation Fuel, Hydraulic Fluid, Lubricating Oil, Water |
| RAYCHEM RT-3 | -55°C to +135°C [-67°F to +275°F] | 2.5:1 | Irradiated Modified Polyolefin | Flame-Retardant | Not specified in detail, but generally good chemical resistance for polyolefin |
