Why FEP heat-shrink tubing is critical for optical and chemical applications
At ROTIMA, we specifically use FEP for applications where constant visual inspection of the heat-shrunk components—such as solder joints or markings—is essential. Its excellent weather resistance reliably protects sensitive sensors in exposed locations from environmental influences.
Technically, FEP stands out for its thermal resistance up to +204 °C and outstanding dielectric properties. Its physiological safety also makes the material the standard in food processing and medical technology.
FEP (fluoroethylene-propylene) features an extremely smooth surface and resistance to virtually all industrial solvents. The material retains its flexibility over a wide temperature range and, thanks to its UV stability, is ideally suited for long-term outdoor applications.
A key advantage: Compared directly to PTFE, FEP offers superior light transmission. Its lower shrinkage temperature also allows for the coating of temperature-sensitive components that could be damaged during PTFE processes.

Types and Varieties of Viton Heat-Shrink Tubing (Viton-E)
The specifications for Viton heat-shrink tubing are critical for applications where extreme chemical aggressiveness combines with mechanical dynamics. Unlike rigid fluoropolymers such as PTFE, Viton (a fluoroelastomer) retains its rubber-like elasticity over time. Our project engineers at ROTIMA primarily recommend this option for protecting fuel and hydraulic systems where vibrations and aggressive media such as Skydrol or biofuels are present simultaneously.
Standard Viton Flexible (The Automotive Version)
This grade is the workhorse of engine manufacturing. Our employees appreciate its high tear strength and resistance to lubricants. It solves the problem of embrittlement, which would occur in standard polyolefins after only a short time when exposed to oil and heat.

Types and Varieties of Silicone Heat-Shrink Tubing
Silicone heat-shrink tubing is the ideal solution for extreme flexibility and tactile requirements. In project development at ROTIMA, silicone is often chosen when fluoropolymers are too rigid due to their surface hardness.
Splitter Caps / Breakouts (Multi-Finger Architecture)
These fittings are designed to securely seal cable junctions (e.g., in 3- or 4-conductor power cables). Our specialized department designs these variants to mechanically relieve stress at the transition from the main cable to the individual conductors while simultaneously sealing the junction. A standard hose would not be able to fill the “gap” (the space between the conductors) at this point—the splitter cap solves this problem thanks to its specific finger-like geometry and the adhesive that oozes out.
| Parameter | Specific value | Technical Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Configurations | 2-finger to 6-finger | For all common cable types |
| Halogen-free | Yes (standard version) | Use in Public Buildings |

| Fire Safety | Self-extinguishing | Enhanced System Security |
| Adhesive flow | Visible after shrinkage | Visual Inspection for Leaks |
| Assembly | Hot Air / Propane Burner | Professional installation required |
Repair Sleeves (Retrofit Systems)
To the best of our knowledge, the repair sleeve is the most efficient lifecycle solution for damaged cable jackets in existing installations. The operating principle involves an “open” heat-shrink tube that is placed around the cable and sealed with a stainless steel clamp. Our staff recommends this option when the cable cannot be disconnected (retrofit) in order to avoid production downtime.
| Parameter | Specific value | Technical Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Closure System | Stainless Steel Rail | Cannot be mechanically removed after installation |
| Longitudinally watertight | Full-surface interior adhesive | Corrosion Protection for the Soul |
| Installation Advantage | No disassembly required | Maximum time savings |
| Voltage range | Up to 1 kV (higher upon request) | Power and Signal Technology |
Heat-Shrink End Caps (Termination Shield)
Our engineers recommend end caps for permanently sealing unused cable ends or wire leads. The operating principle is based on a cap that is closed on one side and features a thick layer of internal adhesive. During the shrink process, this adhesive liquefies and hermetically seals the cable end against pressurized water and atmospheric corrosion.
| Parameter | Specific value | Technical Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Modified polyolefin | High mechanical strength |
| Shrinkage rate | 2:1 to 3:1 | Flexible adaptation to cable cross-sections |
| Gasket | Integrated hot-melt adhesive | Waterproof along its length according to IP68 |
| Temperature range | -55 °C to +110 °C | Industry Standard |
| Dielectric strength | ＞ 15 kV/mm | High electrical safety |
| UV resistance | Excellent | Suitable for outdoor use |
| Chemical Resistance | Resistant to acids and alkalis | Protection in Harsh Environments |
Silicone High Voltage (Electrical Engineering Version)
Based on our application experience, silicone is ideally suited for insulating high-voltage busbars due to its creepage current resistance. It solves the problem of partial discharges in compact switchgear.
| Parameter | Specific value | Technical Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature range | -50 °C to +200 °C | Stable across a wide range |
| Elasticity | ＞ 400 % | Extremely stretchy |
| Surface | Non-slip / Matte | Anti-slip effect |
| Dielectric Strength | ＞ 20 kV/mm | High insulation values |
Angle Fittings (Space-Save Design)
In our project implementation, angled fittings often prove to be the solution for extremely confined installation spaces. They allow for a defined 90° branch of cables at connectors or housing feed-throughs. Unlike manually bending cables, these fittings prevent kinks and ensure a consistent bend radius, which safeguards signal integrity during data transmission.
| Parameter | Specific value | Technical Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | 90° angle | Focus: Installation Space Optimization |
| Choice of material | Elastomer or polyolefin | Depending on flexibility requirements |
| Continuous operating temperature | -75 °C to +150 °C (depending on the material) | Applications in Aerospace & Automotive |
| Fluid resistance | High (oils, hydraulic fluid) | Protection in Engine Compartments |
| Design | With or without a lip | Installation on housings or connectors |
