Data Sheet
November 2018
Description
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301VW has the same excellent balance of electrical,
physical and chemical properties as 3M FP-301 tubing, and is specially engineered
for excellent flame resistance.
3M FP-301VW tubing is rated for continuous operation at -55°C (-67°F) to 135°C
(275°F), and is designed to withstand elevated temperatures to 300°C (572°F) for
short periods. Minimum shrink temperature for all 3M FP-301VW tubing is 100°C
(212°F).
Agency Approvals &
Self Certifications
Meets requirements of:
• AS23053/5, Class 3*
• UL Recognized, File E-39100, vw-1 at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C
• CSA Certified, CSA LR38227, OFT at 600 volts maximum @ 125°C

Applications
3M FP-301VW tubing is ideal for fire-resistant coverings of components and
flammable wire assemblies.
Shrink Ratio
3M FP-301VW tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will
shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is
proportional to the degree of recovery. High expansion ratios available subject to
factory quotation.
