FAQs
What makes these labels 'heat-shrink'?
These labels are made of a special polyolefin material that causes them to contract or 'shrink' when exposed to heat, forming a tight, permanent bond around the wire or cable they are applied to.
What temperature range can these labels withstand?
The DYMO IND Heat-Shrink Tube Labels can withstand a wide temperature range, from -55°C to 135°C.
Are these labels suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, due to their durable, smudge-resistant, and flame-retardant properties, they are suitable for demanding jobsite and industrial conditions, including many outdoor applications where environmental exposure is a concern.
What size wires can the 6mm tape be used on?
The 6mm tape is designed for smaller to medium gauge wires. The tube must be able to slide over the wire before shrinking. It's best to test on your specific wire size to ensure a proper fit and seal.
Do I need a special tool to apply these labels?
You need a compatible DYMO Industrial label maker to print the labels. For application, a heat source, such as a heat gun, is required to shrink the tube onto the wire.
What is the HS code for this product?
The Harmonized System (HS) code for this product is 48219090.
Are these labels RoHS compliant?
Yes, these labels are compliant with RoHS standards.
Troubleshooting
Label not shrinking properly
Ensure you are using sufficient heat from a heat gun and applying it evenly. The label may need more time or slightly higher heat. Also, confirm the tape is the correct heat-shrink type and not a standard label tape.
Label peeling or not adhering
Check that the wire surface is clean and dry before applying the label. Ensure the label is shrunk completely around the wire. If the wire is excessively large for the 6mm width, the label may not form a tight seal.
Print is smudged or faint
Verify that the label maker's print settings are appropriate. Ensure the thermal print head in your label maker is clean. Use a compatible DYMO label maker as specified for this tape type.
Tape jams in the label maker
Make sure the cartridge is correctly inserted and aligned. Check for any visible damage to the tape or cartridge. Try re-inserting the cartridge or using a new one if the current one is faulty.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly durable and resistant to environmental factors like heat, flames, and smudges.
- Provides a permanent, secure label that won't come off.
- Suitable for a wide range of extreme temperatures, from -55°C to 135°C.
- UL recognized for safety and performance assurance.
- Offers a professional and clean solution for cable identification.
Cons
- Requires a heat source (like a heat gun) for proper application, adding a step to the labeling process.
- Compatibility is limited to DYMO Industrial labeling tools.
- The 1.5m tape length may be insufficient for very large installations, potentially requiring multiple cartridges.
- The 6mm width is suitable for smaller cables; wider cables may require different solutions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Print Labels: Use a compatible DYMO Industrial label maker to print your desired text onto the heat-shrink tube tape. Ensure the label maker is set to the correct tape width.
- Cut Tape: Cut the printed label to the desired length using the label maker's cutter or appropriate scissors.
- Apply to Wire: Slide the un-shrunk tube label over the wire or cable to be identified. Position it where you want the permanent label to be.
- Apply Heat: Use a heat gun (or a compatible heat source) on a medium setting. Slowly and evenly move the heat source over the label, allowing it to shrink and conform tightly to the wire's surface. Avoid overheating.
Compatibility:
- Label Makers: Compatible with specific DYMO Industrial label printers. Refer to your label maker's manual for a list of supported tape cartridges.
- Wire Sizes: The 6mm width is suitable for wires and cables that allow the tube to slide over before shrinking. It typically accommodates smaller to medium gauge wires.
Care:
- Storage: Store unused cartridges in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive and material integrity.
- Cleaning: The printed labels themselves are smudge-resistant and can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh solvents.
