AWMS Heat Shrink Wire Markers
The Advanced Wire Marking System (AWMS) produces heat shrink wire marker sleeves for the easy identification of electrical wire, cable, and mechanical tubing of all types. These wire marker sleeves are not only permanent, but they are also economical to generate in-house. Flat, seamless heat shrinkable tubing is attached to fanfold paper with a reusable, adhesive tape backing. This unique format provides an organized work-in-progress list and makes application a simple task for the installer.
The wire markers are manufactured from cross-linked polyolefin, a flame retardant material that is resistant to common fluids, lubricants, and solvents. Once printed on, the wire marker sleeves are ready for installation without any additional treatment.
When tested, the Advanced Wire Marking System heat shrink wire markers show mark permanence quality beyond the minimum requirements. “Mark permanence” is, generally speaking, the ability of a product to remain legible after exposure to either abrasion or aggressive fluids.
The standard sleeve lengths are 1.5” and 2”. We offer these sleeves that are cut into smaller pieces – .5”, .67”, .75”, and 1” lengths – to fit your precise labeling needs. See below for the product info.
