Technical Datasheet
TTDS-050 Revision 6 - June 2021
TTMS Military Grade, Heat Shrink Identification tubing, for the identification of wire and
cables.
Made from durable, flame retarded, radiation cross linked heat shrinkable polyolefin. Supplied in
‘Continuous’, format for ease of printing and kitting.
TTMS and TTMS-MP is a thin wall, light weight, fast recovery 3:1 shrink ratio sleeve, allowing the customer
to cover a wide range of cable diameters. –MP (More Puffy) tube has a more open profile to aid installation.
TTMS-2X is a thicker, rugged wall, 2:1 shrink ratio sleeve, which can aid with handling and installation.
Suitable for a wide variety of applications, including aerospace, military, industrial and energy. Marker
sleeves meet the mark permanence requirements of AS5942 and MIL 202 Method 215
TTMS and TTMS-MP meets the material performance requirements of the AMS SAE DTL 23053/5
specification. TTMS-2X is fabricated from AMS SAE DTL 23053/5 class 1 and 3 tubing.
TTMS and TMS-SCE Heat Shrink Identification products are available as part of a complete identification
system. The system comprises specific printers, thermal transfer ribbons and WINTOTAL software.
