Brady - When Performance Matters Most
Brady B-342 Thermal Transfer / Dot Matrix Printable Nylon Cloth
Label
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Brady’s non-adhesive, printable heat shrink wire marking
sleeves fit around wires or cables for maximum insulation
protection and permanent identification. Brady’s heat shrink
sleeving is a full-circle design that provides fast and permanent
wire marking. Clear, legible text can be printed on the wire and
cable sleeving with a Brady printer for reliable wire
identification. Brady heat shrink sleeving materials excel in
extreme environments, including temperature fluctuations and
environments that require abrasion and resistance. Brady
offers a variety of materials available to print using thermal
transfer and dot matrix printers. B-342 3:1 heat shinkable
sleeves for wire identification and insulation purposes are fade
resistant and fire retardant. B-342 is available in white,
yellow, black, red, orange, green, blue, violet, pink, gray, and
brown.
