Printashrink CPF/FR4


Printashrink CPF/FR4 is a 4:1 shrink ratio heatshrink polyolefin with a working temperature of 135ยฐC. It is a fire retardant sleeve perfect for difficult or irregular shapes where an unusually high shrink ratio is required. Supplied in black as standard, diameters up to 115mm ID are available and can be cut and printed as required.

This 4:1 heatshrink polyolefin tube is designed for commercial or industrial applications where an extremely high ratio is needed to cover irregularly shaped pieces or pass over large components before shrinking. It has excellent electrical, chemical and physical properties and we offer a range of printing and cutting services on this high quality, commercial sleeve making it equally suitable for identification, branding and marking requirements.
