The heat shrink tubes are making advances to find new applications in new areas of the industrial sector still many industrial consultants, engineers, and contractors feel hesitant to use these low-cost the best dependable protection cover to safeguard electrical installations. Heat shrink technology is being used for decades to insulate electrical cables and accessories as well as to protect these against corrosion; therefore, there is no scope to doubt about the effectiveness of switching to this future-oriented technology from conventional taping practices.

Some Interesting & Encouraging Facts about Heat Shrink Sleeves

• Heat shrink sleeves shrink circumferentially more while very less axially.
• Heat shrink sleeves manufacturers heat these up and stretch these circumferentially while not stretching these axially, and then cool these.
• Heat shrink sleeves and power cable accessories are made of Polyolefin that has reversible shape memory effect.
• The cross-linked shape memory polymers (SMPs) can be deformed into temporary shapes; these recover their permanent shapes upon being heated.
• A report by ‘Insight Partners’ states that global heat shrink tubing market size is expected to be $2.87 Billion by 2028 expanding at a CAGR of 5.6%.
• Over the years, Mumbai based Gala Thermo has emerged as the key player in the export of heat-shrink insulation accessories from India.
• The modernization policies adopted by governments across all the manufacturing sectors encourage to use the safest insulation for electrical installations.

Should You Use Heat Shrink Tubes and Power Cable Accessories?

• Ring connectors and cable splices are the common elements of electrical installations, but unreliable conventional sealing quality often leaves connection points corrosion susceptible. A range of adhesive-lined heat shrinkable tubes addresses this problem effectively.
• Storage life of heat shrink electrical insulation accessories is about five years; so it is easy to maintain availability of spares for quick repair.
• The longevity and robustness of heat shrink accessories may last for more than 40 years; it is much more than a conventional taping system.
• Heat shrink power cable accessories provide excellent mechanical protection as well corrosion resistance; therefore, you experience a significant drop in maintenance and a rise in profitability.
• Custom-printed heat shrink power cable insulation accessories provide a long-term effective solution for multiple needs like cable identification for easy maintenance, strain relief, quality standards, inventory management, and brand promotion.

How to Frame Your Strategy to Use Heat Shrink Tubes & Power Cable Accessories

The top manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of heat shrink accessories are continually expanding their product portfolio with advanced facility for bulk-buyers having custom-to-need products. Assessing the scope of improvement in insulation area is the very step of strategy formulation because it scales up the costs and feasibility factors. Indentifying the accurate size of required heat-shrink cable accessories is the first step towards transition. The selection of power cable accessories can be made based on voltage grade, size, shape, and structure type. If you are experiencing increasing costs of power faults, production cut, and maintenance of electrical wirings and accessories, it is time to ask your industrial consultants and engineers to adopt heat shrink technology in phases and compare the outcomes. For example, heat shrink sleeves are available in Low, medium, and high voltage grades with additional option of the double layer. Thin wall, medium and heavy wall structures of heat shrink tubes are available. Heat shrink moulded shapes are available to suit the needs of cable end caps, rain sheds, right-angle boots, straight-angle boot, etc.
