APPLICATIONS
B-345 PermaSleeve® Markers are designed for wire identification and insulation purposes. B-345 sleeves are suitable
for numerous high temperature and/or low outgassing applications. B-345 sleeves are also recommended for
applications that require greater resistance to harsh chemicals such as fuels, lubricants, and high power cleaning
solvents.
RECOMMENDED RIBBONS
Brady R6000 Series and Brady R6600 Series black ribbons
Brady R4400W Series and Brady R6800 Series white ribbons

SPECIAL FEATURES
The recommended operating temperature range for B-345 PermaSleeve® markers is -55°C (67°F) to +225°C (437°F).
A minimum recovery temperature of 155°C (311°F) is recommended for B-345 PermaSleeve® markers.
B-345 PermaSleeve® markers meet the requirements of SAE-AS5492 Marking of Electrical Insulating Materials, and
MIL-STD-202 Method 215 Resistance to Solvents, when printed with the recommended ribbons.
B-345 PermaSleeve® Markers meet the requirements of NASA Vacuum Outgassing Specification SP-R- 0022A
B-345 PermaSleeve® markers meet the copper mirror corrosion requirements of SAE-AS23053/18 when tested in
accordance with SAE-AS23053™A, General Specification for Insulation Sleeving, Electrical, Heat Shrinkable.
B-345 PermaSleeve® markers are supplied in roll form, in a flattened format, on a carrier designed for use with thermal
transfer printers.
B-345 PermaSleeve® markers are available in white, black, yellow, blue, and pink.

Environmental exposure performance properties tested on B-345 white, yellow, blue and pink samples printed with R6000
Series and R6600 Series black ribbons. B-345 black samples were printed with R4400W and R6800 Series white ribbons.
Unless otherwise indicated, samples were recovered at 200°C (392°F) for 3 minutes and allowed to dwell at room
temperature for 24 hours prior to testing.
