FP-303MS-3/8-YL-100

™ 3M Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS Flexible Polyolefin Heat Shrinkable Tubing Data Sheet Description Agency Approvals & Self Certifications January 2010 3MTM Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS offers an outstanding balance of electrical, physical and chemical properties for a wide variety of industrial applications. Available in continuous spools, the Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS tubing is designed for computer-based printing using the 3M Thermal Roll Printer TRP-303. 3M™ Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS has a 3:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to 33% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is proportional to the degree of recovery. Minimum shrink temperature is 212°F (100°C). The operating is -67° to 275°F (-55° to +135°C) Meets the material requirements of SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5* •
