Heat Shrink Tubing
Heat Shrink Tubing is an electrical insulation and cable protection material designed to provide a secure covering over wires, cable joints, terminals, and electrical connections. Supplied by Gulf Basic Trading, Heat Shrink Tubing provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting electrical connections from abrasion, moisture, dirt, and general environmental exposure. When heated, the tubing contracts around the cable or connection to provide a close and secure fit.
Product Overview
Heat Shrink Tubing is used to insulate, protect, and organize electrical wires, cable joints, terminals, and connections. The tubing is placed over the required section before connection or positioned over an existing suitable connection, then heated using an appropriate heat source to shrink it around the cable. It is commonly used in electrical installations, cable termination, control panels, automotive applications, equipment maintenance, industrial systems, construction projects, and general wiring work. Different tubing sizes and specifications can be selected according to cable diameter, insulation requirements, temperature conditions, and application. Available from Gulf Basic Trading, a reliable heat shrink tubing supplier in Saudi Arabia, for electrical contractors, MEP contractors, construction companies, maintenance teams, industrial facilities, and project procurement requirements across the Kingdom.

Armored Cables
Armored cables are low-voltage power cables with copper or aluminium conductors, XLPE/PVC insulation, and a steel wire armour layer, designed for underground and heavy-duty industrial power distribution. Supplied by Gulf Basic Trading, these armored cables are ideal for direct burial, ducts, cable trays, and exposed routes where mechanical protection and long service life are essential. Product Overview: Armored cables use copper or aluminium conductors with XLPE or PVC insulation, protective bedding, a steel wire or steel tape armour layer, and an outer PVC or LSZH sheath. The metallic armour gives extra mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and accidental digging damage, making these cables suitable for harsh environments. These cables are commonly used in low-voltage (LV) electrical distribution systems for industrial plants, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and utility networks where reliable underground or exposed power distribution is required. They are designed to keep power flowing reliably in tough conditions like rocky ground, plant yards, and high-traffic utility corridors.
