Not all applications are the same and Zeus can help you select and design the ideal heat shrinkable material. For 40 years Zeus has supplied the electronics, medical, aerospace and many other industries with high performance polymer heat shrink.
Zeus can manufacture heat shrink to the custom sizes you require. We can control the expanded as well as recovered dimensions such as wall thickness and O.D.
Different materials (resins) are ideally suited for custom applications. PTFE heat shrink tubing is an excellent choice for applications requiring the highest level of lubricity available. FEP heat shrink tubing is an excellent choice for catheter fusing sleeves and printer roller covers. We'll help you select the ideal material for your heat shrinkable tubing. Additional information on the properties of the resins we extrude can be found in our Technical Services section.
Applications where our heat shrink is recovered over other plastics may require lower shrinking temperatures. Through resin and processing method selections, Zeus can assist in customizing the heat required to shrink the tubing. Additional information on heat shrink recovery is located in our Technical Services section.
Zeus has developed unique heat shrink products over the years. The medical device industry has utilized our "Spiral Striped" heat shrink for use in guidewires. In this application the spiral pattern on the wire allows surgeon to judge the depth and rate of insertion into the body. Other custom products such as our Dual Shrink combine the properties of PTFE and FEP for enhanced electronics protection. Our heat shrinkable roller covers were custom designed for the requirements of the copier and offset printing industries.
We can design a custom heat shrink around your requirements. Please feel free to send us a print or contact us for recommendations on heat shrinkable products, sizes, and material selection.
