Shrink tube and wire wrap labels
25 June 2014
Interconnection
Shrink tubes and colour coded, self laminating wire wraps from industrial printer manufacturer DuraLabel provide solutions to marking and identifying wires and cables.
The manufacturer’s shrink tubes are made from polyolefin, a very flexible, specially formulated cross-linked material with a low recovery temperature, 3:1 shrink ratio, thin wall and high flame retardancy. They provide a permanent label that tightly adheres to the wire.
Handheld or desktop DuraLabel printers make it easy to create clear identifying information using text, numbers and graphics. Users slip the shrink tube over the end of a cable or wire using a heat gun to shrink the tube. The result is a tight fitting, permanent label with no adhesives that might fail or tags that can get pulled off. With its thin wall, the shrink tube is pliable and can flex along with whatever it encases.
While shrink tubes can only be applied before a wire is terminated, self-laminating wire wraps are ideal for labelling wires that are terminated. Labels as small as 25 mm wrap around wires as narrow as AWG #12. A clear ‘tail’ that wraps over the printed portion of the label provides long-lasting protection.
