Materials
Mylar®, (Polyester), Kapton®, (Polyimide), Nomex®, (Polyamide, Aramid
Paper), PEN (Polyethylene Napthalate film), Polystyrene, and Metalized
Foils (aluminum, copper, nickel, lead)
Polyester film available in non-shrink, low-shrink (4-11% MD/TD), and
high shrink (35-50% MD, 25-50% TD) grades.
Plastic tubes can be made in material combinations for specific applications.
Note: Mylar®, Kapton®, and Nomex® are DuPont Registered Trademarks.

Special Capabilities
- Laminating unique/specialty materials to meet specific performance requirements
- Some tubes can be made in clear or colors, striped, printed,
or in combinations for product identification.
- Various Sealed ends (dot, half-moon, bar seal) and Thermal end
forming (flat or rounded profiles) of many high temperature, high
dielectric plastic materials are optional fabrications.

- Nomex® tubing is made by spirally winding strips of Nomex® using
a uniquely formulated adhesive for lamination. Insulating tubing of
this high temperature, flame-resistant, nylon paper offers significant
functional and economical advantages over present high-temperature,
insulating sleeving.
- Tubing of Nomex® will operate continuously at 220°C in UL
recognized systems. It does not support combustion and has excellent
chemical and radiation resistance.
- Nomex® can also be used in virtually any combination of plastic
films, papers or substrates which we currently spirally wind. This
allows us to meet your exact needs when the properties of more than
one material are required.

- Polyimide tubing is produced by spirally winding strips of
polyimide film using a unique adhesive for lamination. Tubing made
of this material provides greater electrical, physical and mechanical
insulation than most known films. Among its outstanding qualities
are resistance to radiation and retention of properties through high
and low temperature extremes.
- Polyimide films can be used in virtually any combination of
plastic films, papers or substrates which we currently spirally wind.
This allows us to meet your exact needs when the properties of more
than one material are required.

- Type NS (No-Shrink) polyester is produced by spirally winding strips
of film into tubular form. The plies of films are laminated using a
uniquely formulated polyester resin that is chemically similar to and
has properties comparable to the polyester film.
- This tubing has proven to be very reliable insulation where a thin
wall, high dielectric and continuous operating temperature of 150°C
is necessary.
- Polyester film can also be used in virtually any combination of
plastic films, papers or substrates, which we currently, spirally wind.
This allows us to meet your exact needs when the properties of more than
one material are required. Other polyester films are available, including:
- Type LS
- Type HS
- Flat Reeled
|
 |
- Type LS (Low Shrink) polyester sleeving is produced by spirally winding
strips of shrinkable polyester film into a tubular form using a specially
formulated adhesive as a bonding agent. This unique adhesive is a polyester
resin chemically similar to and with comparable properties to the polyester
film.
|
- Type HS (Heat Shrinkable) sleeving is produced by spirally winding
strips of heat shrinkable polyester film into a tubular form. The tube is
made using a special adhesive as a bonding agent. This adhesive is a
uniquely formulated polyester resin that is chemically similar to and has
properties comparable to the polyester film.
