PEELABLE HEAT-SHRINKING TUBING

摘要

A heat shrink tubing, which can be readily peeled in the longitudinal direction after use (e.g., to remove the heat shrink tubing from an underlying material) is provided herein. The heat shrink tubing can be of various compositions, and generally is produced from at least one fluorinated, copolymeric resin. The tubing can exhibit desirable physical properties such as good optical clarity (e.g., translucency or transparency) and/or peelability, exhibiting one or more of complete, straight, and even peeling along a given length of tubing.

主权项

1. A tubing, comprising at least one thermoplastic, melt processable fluoropolymer resin,
wherein the tubing is less than about 40% crystalline as determined by x-ray diffraction; and wherein the tubing exhibits heat shrink capability, longitudinal peelability, and translucency or transparency through a wall of the tubing.
