GTI 3000
Heat Shrink

Thin Wall Tubing

Data Sheet

________________________________________________________________________________

Product Description

Flexible, thin walled heat shrink tubing, made of cross
linked, halogen free polyolefin. The tubing m eet s the
latest requirements regarding shrinking time, flexibility,
and material characteristics. The tubing shrinks when
heat is applied. Simple and fast installation, excellent
electrical and mechanical properties. Available in a
range of colours and sizes.

Applications

GTI 3000 is designed to provide excellent insulation
and protection in various industrial applications. The
large diameter range, and 3:1 shrink ratio offers many
solutions within a small range of products. GTI 3000 is
available in a wide range of colours, with a shiny,
smooth, particle free surface. Suitable for cable marking
and identification applications. GTI 3000 fulfills the
strict requirements of many standards, including RoHS.
Easy to install, little training required, saves time.
Reliable product, meets domestic, commerical, and
industrial needs.
