FIT®-CLEAR is a new type of heat shrink tubing product that is transparent, flame retardant and highly wear-resistant
Alpha Wire introduces FIT‑CLEAR, a crystal‑clear heat‑shrinkable tubing made from modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PYDF). The material stays clear after shrinking, resists abrasion, chemicals and offers a low recovery temperature of 150 °C, saving installation time and protecting substrates.
The product meets UL Standard 224, passes the UL VW‑1 flame test, complies with SAE‑AMS‑DTL‑23053/18 Class 1, and is RoHS‑compliant. FIT‑CLEAR is available on spools from 3/64 in. to 2 in. and is suitable for automotive wiring, component jacketing, and chemical‑resistant applications.
