• Although the tube is made of insulating materials (polyole n), it does not meet the standards set for insulated tube
construction. Do not use the tube in locations where withstand voltage capability is required.
User Precautions
• Prints may appear distorted due to special surface materials. Prints may become diminished if the surface of the
tube is scratched or wiped with paint thinner, etc.
• When the tube shrinks, the printed characters may become distorted and di cult to read. Printed bar codes may
Range
also become undecipherable.

Shrink Tube material requires a higher ribbon concentration to print solid characters on the thicker
shrink tube material. Based on your machine model, follow these instructions to increase print density.

Surface Mounting
5.80-10.40
1. Place the tube over the wire or cable.
7.70-12.50
2. Blow hot air across the tube using a heat gun* to shrink the tube.
7.70-12.50
3. When the tube ts snugly against the surface, the shrinking process is nished.
DO NOT OVER HEAT THE SHRINK TUBE MATERIAL.
11.70-19.50
* Use a heat gun when performing the heat shrinking process in order to
11.70-19.50
achieve proper shrinking levels.
1.11-2.66
Use only a heat gun that meets industrial standards during the heat shrinking process. Use caution when
1.11-2.66
handling the heat gun.
2.31-5.46
Do not use soldering irons, cigarette lighters, an open ame or home hair dryers to avoid the accidental
ignition of a re.
2.31-5.46
Do not apply heat to any surface for an extended period of time, even when the operating temperature
1.40-3.10
is within the recommended range.
2.40-6.00
Coloring of the tube may be altered, characters may disappear, and surfaces may be damaged or
discolored depending on the construction of the surface, the environmental conditions and the
1.40-3.10
conditions during adhesion.
2.40-6.00
Please select an unnoticeable location for testing the actual results of the product prior to use.
Avoid surfaces that do not provide su cient heat resistance. Heat shrinking can damage surfaces that
are not conducive to high temperatures.
Avoid direct contact with the tubes during or immediately after shrinking to prevent injuries.
