Description:
B-322 BradySleeve™ Markers are self-extinguishing dot matrix printable sleeves supplied in various configurations including pin-feed roll form. Sleeves are constructed with heat shrinkable, high density polyolefin film coated with an ink receptive topcoating.
These markers are used to identify electrical wires and cables used in the manufacturing and construction industries, or in maintenance activities where specifications or environments require the use of self-extinguishing sleeves.
B-322 BradySleeve™ Markers enable the user to print variable wire identification information using dot matrix printing equipment. A special print receptive topcoating on the sleeves absorbs printing inks and provides permanent legibility, even under severe conditions. B-322 is designed to exhibit self-extinguishing flammability performance. B-322 is available in white and yellow colors.
The Brady R5000 Series and R2000 Series high performance ribbons are recommended for best dot matrix print performance.
