Description
3M
TM
Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS offers an outstanding balance
of electrical, physical and chemical properties for a wide variety of industrial
applications. Available in continuous spools, the Heat Shrinkable Marker
Sleeve FP-303MS tubing is designed for computer-based printing using the 3M
Thermal Roll Printer TRP-303.
3M™ Heat Shrinkable Marker Sleeve FP-303MS has a 3:1 shrink ratio.
When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to 33% of its as-supplied
internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is proportional to the
degree of recovery. Minimum shrink temperature is 212°F (100°C). The
operating is -67° to 275°F (-55° to +135°C)
