Zeus Sub-Lite-Wall® PTFE heat shrink tubing is our ultra-thin walled extrusion family with wall thicknesses 0.005" (0.127 mm) and below. This specialty heat shrink is engineered for applications that not only require thin walls but also a shrink-to-fit encapsulation protection. For this speciality heat shrink, we can even maintain wall thicknesses extending below 0.001" (0.025 mm) with tolerances of ± 0.0005" (0.0127 mm). Our capabilities allow us to meet your most critical dimensional needs. PTFE has an extremely low coefficient of friction making it especially desirable when needing to push covered components such as guidewires through tight fitting or occluded vessels. For medical applications, PTFE products are sterilizable by several options and are also biocompatible. PTFE’s high working temperature also makes it a good option for covering sensors which may become hot during normal use. This micro-dimensional heat shrink fills a critical need for our customers who are demanding ever-thinner walls for more specialized applications. This superthin- walled heat shrink is highly customizable. Contact your Zeus representative to find out how we can tailor PTFE Sub-Lite-Wall® heat shrink for you.

PEEK, a linear semi-crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered the highest performing thermoplastic material due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure, and caustic fluids. Now Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with the introduction of PEEKshrink™ – PEEK heat-shrinkable tubing.

PEEK, a linear, semi–crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered one of the highest performing thermoplastic materials; it can withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure and caustic fluids. Now, Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with PEEKshrink™. PEEKshrink™ provides a shrink-to-fit layer of protection for sensitive components and critical connections. PEEKshrink™ is an ideally suited product for challenging environments such as oil and gas exploration where abrasion, intense pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to wires and electrical components. PEEKshrink™ is an obvious and optimal splicing aid for PEEK insulated wire. PEEKshrink™ is an alternative to traditional fluoropolymer protective coatings with its very wide working temperature range.
