These standards ensure that the materials used in the tubing meet specific criteria related to biocompatibility, quality and environmental regulations. The compliance indicates that the tubing can be safely utilised in medical settings, meeting the necessary regulatory requirements for biocompatibility, FDA approval and restriction of hazardous substances.

What is the difference between polyolefin and PVC heat shrink tubing?

Polyolefin heat shrink tubing and PVC heat shrink tubing differ in composition. Polyolefin is a type of thermoplastic that provides greater flexibility and chemical resistance. On the other hand, PVC, another thermoplastic, offers rigidity and clarity. Polyolefin is often preferred for electrical applications, while PVC is chosen for its transparency in certain situations.
