expressMARK ETZ Product Test Results

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION: Thin wall, zero-halogen, low smoke, low toxicity, radiation cross-linked, UV stabilised polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing, assembled as cut sleeves organized in a ladder format.
USE: Identification of wires and cables by computer-based printing onto sleeves. Ideal for applications where limited fire hazard characteristics are critical. The zero halogen material coupled with low smoke and low toxic fume emissions make this product ideal for use in enclosed spaces such as mass transit, marine and industrial installations. This product is not recommended where strain relief properties are required.
