MT3000-1/2-0-SP

MT3000 Altera medical-grade, thin wall, flexible, fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing Altera MT3000 heat-shrinkable tubing is tough, flexible tubing with a very thin wall construction. It is especially suitable for applications requiring high temperature performance and resistance to abrasion, cut-through, and a variety of fluids. In polar media, such as aqueous systems and alcohols, property retention and dimensional stability are exceptional. Altera MT3000 tubing provides electrical insulation and strain relief for components that are exposed to high temperatures - either during operation or during sterilization. With its exceptional flexibility and thin-wall construction, Altera MT3000 tubing is ideal for applications where pliancy coupled with small overall bundle size is desired. Altera MT3000 tubing may be sterilized by radiation, ethylene oxide, and dry heat with no significant change in properties. It is fabricated from materials that meet the requirements of U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI plastics (contact with injectables and body fluids or tissue). Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 150°C Continuous operating temperature: –55°C to 150°C Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135°C Specifications* Type MT3000 Raychem MT3000 SCD Material USP Class VI Master File Number MAF-472 *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
