Heat shrink insulation and corrosion resistant tubes are finding increasing applications in electrical installations and applications. Heat shrink process deploys high consistency and high permittivity to cross-linked polyolefin sleeves/tubes. The phenomenon is used to produce refractive-field resistant insulation and corrosion protective devices to make cable and pipe installations better human friendly.

The Salient Properties Of Heat Shrink Tubes:

Heat shrink cable tubes are available for 1, 3 or multi-core cables. These low-cost tubes make the installation of screened/ unscreened control cables, signal cables, paper insulated cables, PVC cables, EPR cables, and XLPE cables safer for electrical engineers and the people working around. The significant reduction in faults, maintenance cost, shut downs, and electrical accidents pay backs multiple times of little investment. The much-desired properties of electrical resistant products that make these small cost insulation and corrosion products appealing to industrial consultants and electrical engineers include:

• Self extinguishing
• Flame retardant
• Zero Halogen
• With and without thermo-plastic adhesive
• Thickness options – thin, medium and thick walled
• Wall options – single and dual walls
• Shrink ratio options – 1:2 and 1:3
• Color coding – transparent or colored
• Suitable for indoor, outdoor, underground locations
• Resistant to industrial environment containing moisture, chemicals, fumes, dusts etc

Readymade Heat Shrink Sleeve Solution for Diverse Needs:

For the effective strategy to make electrical installations human friendly in the best possible way, just insulating the cables doesn’t serve the purpose because electrical installations have many other high risk points also. Gala Thermo, one of the top manufacturers of heat shrink products in India, produce the quality best range of insulating accessories to make the electrical installations safer, performing, and long lasting. The company offers the ever-expanding range of ready to use heat shrink
sleeves to insulate terminals, joints, distribution points etc. Online assistance is made available to help you choose the right products for a particular application:

Should You Invest To Use Heat Shrink Tubes?

A little investment to embrace globally recognized heat shrink products drives in multidimensional benefits that promote your overall business performance. Properly insulated electrical installation strengthens confidence of workforce. It improves consistency in production that helps you maintain supply chain as per commitments. The heat shrink products like wire harness protection tube, cable
repair sleeves, corrosion protection tubes etc reduce the number of accidents to keep you worry free. The enhanced age of electrical installation delays the requirement for periodic repair, replacement and fresh installation. Many more such apparent and unapparent advantages of using heat shrink insulation and corrosion products come to you at a peanut’s cost.

Prop-tips:

• Polyolefin heat shrink products are the top choice of professionals to make industrial installations more human- friendly.
• The low voltage electrical segment is the largest contributor to growing popularity of heat-shrink
  tube products.
