Raychem brand URHT heat-shrinkable tubing is flame-retardant, black, cross-linked polyolefin tubing with an ultra-high shrink ratio (8:1). With such a high ratio, the company says, URHT is suitable for applications where tubing must conform to an oddly shaped substrate or fit over large objects like connectors and other components found in electrical wiring harnesses.
For many connector- and cable-repair applications, URHT will allow repairs to be made without de-pinning the connector. In addition to harness applications, URHT can be used to insulate electronic components and other electrical assemblies and devices. The tubing is suitable for OEM applications in the aerospace and defense markets, as well as the industrial and commercial fields. It can also be useful in the industrial, marine, and rail aftermarkets.

The tubing is available in inside-diameter sizes of 2 inches (shrinks to 0.23 inches), and 3 inches (shrinks to 0.34 inches). Cut lengths up to 10 inches are available. Operating temperature range is -55° to 135° C. A hot-melt-adhesive-lined product is also available for applications requiring sealing and additional surface adhesion to the substrate.
