HSI manufactures FEP heat shrink and fluoropolymer tubing for all fields medical and commercial. The additional uses for FEP tubing can be found in the aerospace, electrical, chemical, optical and automotive fields. Manufacturing focus is placed on product engineering and manufacturing processes to ensure the highest quality, i.e. laser gauges and ultrasonics for measuring, a high level of product features, and the most efficient manufacturing processes possible--lean manufacturing and JIT. Heat Shrink Innovations produces a range of .005 to .020" walls for FEP heat shrink tubing to be used as a mold for custom catheter assemblies and customer extruded tubing. We use state of the art in-line gauging to insure the highest quality manufacturing process. Heat Shrink Innovations can produce clear and colored high yield products to increase your manufacturing bottom line profit. Materials process include: FEP, PFA, ETFE and THV and custom FEP heat shrink tubing, along with fluoropolymer single lumen and multilumen tubing.
Capabilities
Heat Shrink Innovations has developed a process to manufacture FEP heat shrink tubing that exhibits 5% or less longitudinal growth at full recovery with a smooth, glass-like finish. Because of the wall thickness at expansion, a rapid shrinkage and heat transfer to the parts being fused may occur during processing. One of the advantages is to assist with the reduction of outgassing due to overheating. In addition to uniform compression that results in a tube's radial direction, the tubing's longitudinal control prompts linear consistency for improvement of finished product yield.
