Product Description
3 M™VTN-200 heat-shrinkable tubing is
highly abrasion and cut-through resistant
and can withstand a wide variety of fuels,
lubricants, acids and highly corrosive
fluids at temperatures up to 200°C. In
addition to its high continuous operating
temperature and chemical-resistance
properties, this tubing is very flexible and
is easily marked by hot-stamp or print-
wheel methods. When heated in excess of
175°C (347°F), VTN-200 rapidly shrinks
to a skintight fit. VTN-200 is rated for
continuous operation from –55°C (–67°F)
to 200°C (392°F).

Modified Fluoroelastomer
Data Sheet
Typical Applications
Because of its outstanding high-
temperature fluid performance, V T N - 2 0 0
Tubing is often used to protect wiring
and component covers in
aircraft/aerospace applications including
electronic control systems and hydraulic
fluid transport mechanisms and in
chemical plants.
Shrink Ratio
VTN-200 Tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio.
When freely recovered, the tubing will
shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal
d i a m e t e r. The recovered wall thickness
is proportional to the degree of recovery.

Ordering Information
Order VTN-200 Tubing by product
name, size equivalent to the expanded
inside diameter, package type and color.
Always order the largest size that will
shink snugly over the component to be
covered.
Example: VTN-200, 3/16", black, spools.
