TMS-SCE marker sleeves are designed to meet the wire and cable
marking needs of manufacturers with high performance
requirements. Made from durable, flame retarded, radiation-
crosslinked heat-shrinkable polyolefin, TMS-SCE marker sleeves
can be used in a wide variety of applications. The marker sleeves
meet the performance requirements of SAE-AMS- DTL-23053/5
classes 1 and 3 and the TMS-SCE-2X products are made from
tubing fully compliant with this specification. The marks are
permanent immediately after printing and remain legible even
when exposed to abrasion, aggressive cleaning solvents, and
military fuels and oils. The sleeves meet the mark permanence
requirements of MIL-M-81531 and MIL-STD-202 both before and
after shrinking.
Both 2:1 and 3:1 shrink ratios are available. The 2:1 products
provide a thick, rugged sleeve wall and are particularly easy to
handle. The lightweight 3:1 products provide extremely fast
shrinking and cover a wider range of wire diameters, thus
simplifying inventory.
The marker sleeves are designed to be printed by computer-driven
dot matrix or thermal transfer printers, providing several
advantages in terms of reduced errors, cycle time and cost.
Supplied in a thin, flat “ladder” format, the sleeves are held
horizontally between two hole-punched polyester strips. This
configuration feeds directly from the storage box into a Tyco-
recommended printer. Tyco-recommended ribbons should always
be used. The ladder format provides automatic kitting of the
marker sleeves in the desired sequence. A standard heat gun with
reflector is used to shrink the sleeves onto the wire or cable.
