Heat-shrinkable identification markers

• Computer-pintable permanent
identification sleeves
D-SCE
• Resistance to organic fluids,
common fuels, lubricants and
solvents
Heat-shrinkable identification
markers
• 3:1 shrink ratio
• Formulated for use in aerospace, rail
and construction equipment
D-SCE identification sleeves are suitable
for applications where exposure to
organic fluids, especially oils, is required
for long periods at elevated temperatures.
In addition to identification, D-SCE sleeves
will provide strain relief, insulation, and
protection from mechanical abuse. These
sleeves meet the material and
performance requirements
SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/6, Class 1, and the
mark permanence requirements of
MIL-M-81531 and MIL-STD 202.
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 Raychem
recommended printer. Raychem
recommended ribbons should always be
used.
D-SCE markers are packaged for both
high-and low-volume users.
The standard package is 1000 pieces per
box but sleeves can also be ordered in
larger pack sizes.
The sleeves are available in diameters
ranging from 0.094” (2.4 mm) to 1.500”
(38 mm), with a 3:1 shrink ratio.
Note: 38 mm is a 2:1 shrink ratio product.
The variety of packaging and sizing
options enables users to meet many
marking applications. The 3:1 shrink ratio
provides efficient inventory management
because each sleeve size covers a wide
range of wire diameters.
