Heat-shrink technology is getting global acceptance to insulate the wires, cables, pipes, and other structural components for the long-term protection from abrasion, corrosion, electrical/electronic charge, mechanical impacts, environmental impacts, on-the-site harsh conditions and utility stresses etc. The specially-formulated thermoplastic polymer material, preferably Polyolefin, is used to manufacture heat shrink sleeves and heat shrink moulded shapes of desired shape, thickness, and shrinkage properties. The use of Polyolefin heat shrink tubes has become an integral part of the electrical installation planning for industrial units, production sites, and commercial spaces. The top brands are expanding the product range as the adaptation and demand of heat shrink products is increasing, and Gala Thermo sets new examples of an innovative approach to produce ready-to-use purpose-oriented heat shrink electrical insulation products.
Heat Shrink Tubes Make electrical Wires and Cables Safe:
Insulation of electrical wires and cables in harsh working and environmental conditions as in chemical, gas, petroleum and other industries having too moist environment is of great importance to protecting the employees and installations from any possible accident. OSHA and NFPA regulations define the guidelines for safe electrical designs, installations, and maintenance. To reduce the possibilities of accidents at working spaces, gathering points, and other commercial buildings, Gala Thermo offers readymade solutions to make electrical installations safe. To find the latest arrivals, explore the range of:
- Heat shrinkable joints & terminations for PVC / XLPE/ PILC cables
- Thin wall heat shrink tubes
- Medium/heavy-walled tubes for commercial spaces
- Red-insulation tubes
- Anti-tracking tubes
- Bus-bar tubes
- Stress controlling tubes
- Double layered tubes
Heat Shrink Moulded Shapes For Joints And Terminals:
Proper insulation of joints and terminals makes the electrical installations safe, long-lasting, and maintenance cost-saver. Despite using the best quality wires and cables, you need dependable protection at the terminals and joints. The traditional practice of using a tape for insulation can’t be said reliable especially in tough environments. The wide range of heat shrink moulded shapes offers the readymade solution for diverse needs:
- Low-voltage cable breakouts
- Heat shrink Cable end caps
- Anti-tracking breakouts
- Rain sheds
- Semi-conductive cable breakout
- Right angled boots/straight boots
- Heat shrinkable boots
- Anode caps
Apart from these two major categories, Gala Thermo is continuously expanding the range of screened separable connectors and touch-proof terminations. The switchgear insulation product category includes busbar tubes, polyolefin bus bar insulation shrouds, bus bar end caps, heat shrink tape, circuit breakers insulation boots, thin-walled tubes for wire marking etc. Bus-bar connection insulating covers are also available for the protection of energized bus-bars and conductors from accidental flashovers often caused by birds, squirrels, and other reasons.
Parting Note:
According to a TOI report dated Feb 12, 2020, Electrocution kills about 30 Indians per day. Can we reduce the numbers? Yes, we can reduce the numbers of accidents because of faults in electrical installations considerably by using the Polyolefin made ready-to-use heat shrink insulation products. Accidents because of faulty electrical installations can happen anytime due to numbers of neglected and uncared reasons. Why do let these happen to cause you production loss, high repairing cost, profit drop, reputation dent, legal hassles, life loss etc, when you have heat-shrink insulation products for every need?
