Industries featured in:
Marine Rail Industrial
Thin wall, zero-halogen, low
smoke, low toxicity, radiation
cross-linked, UV stabilised
polyolefin heat-shrinkable
tubing, assembled as cut
sleeves organised in a
ladder format.
Identification of wires and
cables by computer-based
printing onto sleeves. Ideal
for applications where
limited fire hazard charac-
teristics are critical. The
zero halogen material
coupled with low smoke and
low toxic fume emissions
make this product ideal for
use in enclosed spaces
such as mass transit, marine
and industrial installations.
This product is not
recommended where strain
relief properties are
required.
