RT-3 PBBs PBBEs PBBOs Semirigid, flame-retardant polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing RT-3 tubing is ideally suited for wire strain-relief applications. It provides excellent strain relief and insulation of “weak points,” transferring flex stress away from solder and crimp joints and other typically sensitive wiresplice and termination points. RT-3 is especially well suited for semi-automated production equipment requiring tubing with a tightly controlled expanded diameter. Sizes and expansion ratios of RT-3 are available for specific spade/disconnect terminals. of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated biphenyl oxides (PBBOs). In Europe, these chemicals are classified as environmentally hazardous substances. RT-3 tubing is made from a semirigid, radiation-crosslinked, flame-retardant polyolefin. Unlike other typical flameretardant tubings, RT-3 tubing is free RT-3 is UL-recognized in all colors and CSA- certified in black at 125°C, 600 V.
