Heat shrink technology, evolving fast over the decades, is providing a range of fool-proof solutions for electrical engineers, industrial consultants, commercial structural engineers, and technicians to improve the performance and appearance of complex electrical and piping installations. Adequate insulation with long-term effectiveness in harsh environmental conditions has been a critical issue for engineers. The electrical and piping installations in commercial spaces and industries come across high traffic, harsh environmental elements, rough usage, and the possibility of mechanical impacts; inadequate insulation and protection may cause of heavy loss of revenue and reputation. To stay safe and keep others safe, electrical engineers, consultants, structural engineers, and technicians are embracing heat shrink power cable accessories like heat shrink tubes, busbar sleeves, and heat shrink sleeves. The heat shrink corrosion protection tubes are getting wide-scale acceptance to keep the structural pipes and other elements corrosion-free even in an environment containing chemical gasses, vapors, and humidity.
Widening Usage Scope of Heat Shrink Tubes- A Power Cable Accessory of Modern Age
As the name reflects, a Gala heat shrink tube is a tube made of heat shrink material. Polyolefin is the most used heat shrink material for manufacturing a range of premium quality power cable accessories. Heat shrink tubes, also called heat shrink sleeves are highly effective in insulating various components of electrical installations like cable joints, busbar connections, overhead lines, circuit breakers, etc. Available in a range of lengths, thicknesses, and diameters, heat shrink sleeves provide a robust solution for corrosion protection also. To seal the electrical cable joints and endpoints, heat shrink tubes manufactured by Gala Thermo Shrink PVT. LTD. are available in different categories-
- GLC : Thin Wall Tube
- GLC3: Commercial Grade Tubing
- GSC : Thin Wall Flame Retardant Tube
- GDW : Dual Wall Tubing
- Medium / Heavy Wall Tubes – Insultube Commercial
- Heat Shrink Co-Extruded Tubing Premium Quality
- Red Insulation Tubes – INSULTUBE Red
- Non-Tracking Tube – INSULTUBE Non-Tracking
- Heat Shrink Busbar Sleeves up to 36KV to protect against accidental flashover
- Stress Control Tube to control high electrical stress
