3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 Flexible, Polyolefin Data Sheet Description November 2018 3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 offers an excellent balance of electrical, physical and chemical properties for a wide variety of industrial and military applications. Rated for 135°C continuous operation, all 3M FP-301 tubing is split resistant, mechanically tough, easily marked and resists cold flow. 3M FP-301 tubing is rated for continuous operation at -55°C (-67°F) to 135°C (275°F), and is designed to withstand elevated temperatures to 300°C (572°F) for short periods. Minimum shrink temperature for all 3M FP-301 tubing is 100°C (212°F). Agency Approvals & Self Certifications Meets requirements of: • • • • AS23053/5, Class 1, Class 2 (Clear)* UL Recognized, File E-39100, at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C CSA Certified, CSA LR38227, at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C For RoHS and REACH information, please visit www.3M.com/regs *Formerly MIL-I-23053/5, MIL-DTL-23053/5 and SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5 Applications 3M FP-301 tubing is typically used as a shrink-fit electrical insulation over cable splices and terminations. It is also used for lightweight wire harness covering, wire marking, wire bundling, component packaging and fire-resistant covering. Shrink Ratio 3M FP-301 tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is proportional to the degree of recovery. 1 of 4  3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 Standard Sizes and Dimensions Ordering Size (Nominal) Expanded I.D. (Minimum) In.
