Peelable heat-shrink tubing
A peelable heat-shrink tubing includes a base polymer comprising fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), and at least one fluoropolymer coextruded with the base polymer. The peelable heat-shrink tubing may have a haze between about 40% and 80%, inclusive, and/or a total luminous transmittance between about 70% and 85%, inclusive. In some embodiments, the haze may be between about 50% and 70%, inclusive, and/or the total luminous transmittance may be less than about 80%. The base polymer may comprise FEP NP-130 and constitute between about 87.5% and 92.5% by composition of the peelable heat-shrink tubing, inclusive, and the at least one fluoropolymer may comprise ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) and constitute between about 7.5% and 12.5% by composition of the peelable heat-shrink tubing, inclusively. In some embodiments, the at least one fluoropolymer may comprise 7.5% of ETFE and 5% of perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA), each by composition of the peelable heat-shrink tubing, inclusive.
