Raychem RT-555 TUBING
Modified Fluoropolymer, Radiation Crosslinked,
Flexible, Abrasion Resistant, Flame Retardant, Heat Shrinkable
1. SCOPE
This specification covers the requirements for one type of flexible, electrical insulating extruded tubing
whose diameter will reduce to a predetermined size upon the application of heat in excess of 220ºC (428ºF).
The tubing is suitable for use in wire harness systems requiring high fluid resistance.
