Printashrink HSK
Actions
Printasleeve HSK is an extremely tough, high temperature, thin wall polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) heatshrinkable sleeve. It has a 2:1 shrink ratio, continuous operating temperature of up to 175°C and excellent resistance to fuels, solvents and chemicals. Available in transparent or black up to 25.4mm ID as standard, it can be cut and printed as required.
This equivalent to Kynar® is a semi-rigid tube which has an operating temperature of 175°C and can withstand temperatures of over 300°C for short periods. It has superior cut-through and abrasion resistance and offers excellent resistance to most fuels, chemicals and solvents. It is favoured in high temperature applications for strain relief, chemical resistance as well as mechanical and abrasion protection. We offer a range of printing and cutting services on this tough, high temperature tube also making it perfect for identification, branding and marking requirements.
