New, Medical Grade FEP Heat Shrink for Catheters | ||
|
Ft. Worth, TX – Jan. 7, 2010 – Parker TexLoc introduces Medical Grade FEP Heat
Shrink for catheter forming. Unlike typical FEP heat shrink, which often
wrinkles, twist or grows up to 20% in length when shrinking, the new Medical
Grade FEP Heat Shrink has a uniform recovery and a maximum constrained
elongation up to + 5%. This reduced elongation limits the possibility of
curling or pigtailing, thus eliminating marks, ridges and thread effects. With a faster recovery time, Parker TexLoc Medical Grade FEP Heat Shrink is very responsive in reflow applications for catheter manufacturing. It allows the heat shrink to soften and contain the resins being reflowed beneath, forming a smooth transition and uniform wall from one resin to the next. When using a slightly thicker wall, two paths can be scored 180 degrees apart, enabling easy removal after the reflow is complete. This reduces marring of the resins beneath from gripping or cutting after the shrink process. Parker TexLoc Medical Grade FEP Heat Shrink is available in custom sizes. Your application determines the expanded I.D., recovered I.D. and wall thickness. In addition, our new technology allows faster deliveries, even with the addition of custom enhancements such as scoring and cutting. Samples are available upon request. With annual sales exceeding $10 billion, Parker Hannifin is the world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision-engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.
