[Whiplash Performance]

Here are the different types of heat shrink tubing and their properties:

Chemical-Resistant PVC
Better chemical and abrasion resistance than polyolefin; also resists sunlight.

Flexible Polyolefin
More flexible than PVC and shrinks less lengthwise.

Food-Grade Olefin
Inedible, but nontoxic and resistant to moisture and fungus – this acrylated olefin tubing is FDA compliant for contact with food.
Harsh Environment FEP
Provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance but doesn't require the high shrink temperature of PTFE.

Harsh Environment PTFE
Has the best abrasion and chemical resistance of any tubing we offer.

High-Strength Harsh Environment PVDF
Great strength and chemical resistance at high temperatures.
Low-Shrink-Temperature Harsh Environment Kynar (PVDF)/Polyolefin Blend
Nearly as strong and abrasion resistant as FEP and PVDF, but shrinks at a lower temperature. Plus, it's more flexible than polyolefin.

Sure-Grip Fabric (Polyethylene/Polyester)
Provides abrasion resistance, resists trapping water, and suppresses noise and rattle.

Fuel-Resistant Elastomer
Ideal for vehicles and machines subject to harsh environments; resists aviation and diesel fuels, hydraulic fluids, and lubricating oils.
Ultra-Flex Neoprene Rubber
Maintains flexibility even at low temperatures.

High-Temperature Ultra-Flex Fluoroelastomer
Withstands higher temperatures than neoprene tubing and delivers better abrasion and chemical resistance while maintaining flexibility.

Waterproof EPDM Rubber
Resists fungus, acids, alkalies, ozone, and ultraviolet light; the resiliency and grip pressure stay strong even after years of exposure. Can also be buried and submerged.
