A unique GREMCO product is the dual-walled PTFE\/FEP shrink tubing<\/strong>. This is a special, dual-layer shrink tubing<\/a> consisting of the semi-crystalline fluorocarbon polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and the copolymer tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene (FEP). In this way, the unique properties of the materials are combined in one product and complement each other reciprocally. Furthermore, heating the dual-walled PTFE\/FEP shrink sleeve triggers a melting process<\/strong> of the FEP, while PTFE is shrinking<\/strong>. Thus, a liquid-tight encapsulation of critical components and parts can be ensured, which can easily withstand strong mechanical abuse in aggressive chemical environments. Furthermore, it also operates at high temperatures.<\/p>\n
