Thin Wall Tubes
GSC: Flame Retardant Tube
GSC & GSC/YG are Heat Shrink Thin Wall Tubes suitable for below applications :
GSC Series :
- Light duty wire harnessing for electrical & electronic applications.
- Provides electrical insulation and protection for in-line components.
- Used as strain relief for electrical wire connection.
- Bus-bar insulation for switchgear.
- Color coding for wires, cables, terminals and components.
GSC/YG Series :
GSC/YG range of tubing is extremely flexible, flame-retardant, thin wall with yellow and
green striped heat shrink polyolefin tubing especially for electrical equipment ground
lead applications. The unique dual color striping of yellow and green provides an
instant identification for ground wires.
