1. Airshrink

tubing shrinks when exposed to air. Supplied in expanded form in any length or colour, diameters ranging from 1mmto 90mm.All you do is remove it from its container, slip it on and let the air do the rest. One hour later you have the perfect shrink. Airshrink is ideally suited to irregular shaped objects and tight bends. Applications include:

• Insulation and colour coding of busbars, lugs etc.

• Strain relief on lugs

• Sound sticks for mines

• Coating of gym equipment (barbells, handles, and footrests)

• Covering on lawn mower handles (insulation and comfort)

• Anti-rattle sleeves (automotive seat springs)

• Covering of canoe paddles

• Automotive coil and leaf springs (dampening)

2. Heatshrink

Standard heatshrink is a cross-linked polyolefin product that can be supplied in either general purpose or flame retardant form. Heatshrink's high dielectric strength and excellent mechanical properties makes it suitable for a variety of applications, including:

• Insulation and colour coding of busbars, lugs etc.

• Cable and component identification

• Mechanical strain relief and protection

Specialized heatshrink and components range from heatshrink with a thicker wall, higher shrink ratios, adhesive lined, RoHS and REACH compliant, halogen free and product suitable for applications up to 36 kV. Other products include:

• Heatshrink with excellent resistance to diesel, chemicals & hydraulic fluids

• Medium and thick wall adhesive and non-adhesive lined for use in low

voltage and medium voltage joints and terminations

• Wrap around cable repair sleeves

• Heatshrinkable ladder / rail type and continuous reël marker sleeves

3. Extrusions - (Flexible and semi-rigid)

Spiral Bind

General purpose helically split thermoplastic tube manufactured in a range of diameters and colours.

Main application is for organizing and protection of cables and hoses. Other applications include:

• Harness for wires and electrical cables (e.g. computer, Hi-Fi &telephone systems)

• Breakout on cable bundling systems

• Colour coding and mechanical protection on regulator hoses

• Protection on squash / tennis racquets

Straws , Leashes , TPU Solid Extrusions / Cords

Rigid and flexible PVC extrusions and profiles available in colours used as leashes in sporting goods, such as surfboards, body boards, sunglasses as well as a host of applications in the promotional markets. (Flag posts and drinking straws)

High strength polymeric rope makes this product ideal as tie-down for tarpaulins on trucks and LDVs.

Control cable sleeves

Semi-rigid HDPE, polyacetal, polypropylene and PTFE sleeves used in automotive control cables e.g. accelerator, clutch and brake cables.

Harness tubing

Flexible PVC used to secure and protect numerous wires, in the manufacture of wiring harnesses. Tubing available in different colours and sizes.
