Raychem/TE HFT5000 Heat Shrinkable Fabric

HFT500 is designed primarily to provide mechanical abrasion protection for components such as rubber hoses, plastic pipes, and harness wiring bundles. Also suitable for other applications, such as noise and rattle suppression. The woven construction makes HFT5000 extremely flexible and resistant to trapping water, heat, and humidity. Provides outstanding abrasion, chafing, and cutting protection, even at high temperatures.

Highly flexible woven fabric tubing
Polyethylene/polyester construction for excellent abrasion resistance
2:1 shrink ratio for easy installation onto different substrate diameters and sizes
Highly flexible woven fabric construction for easy, compliant installation onto awkward substrates such as bent hoses and wire looms.
Easily cut with standard industrial cutting equipment
Resistant to harsh environments
HFT5000 is sold per foot

The user may want to seal the ends of the fabric, where the fabric meets a connector and/ or a breakout in the loom. Please see the glue-lined heat shrink and heat shrink boot options below.
