The DYMO RHINO 18055 / S0718300 Heat-Shrink Tubing is an industrial cable-identification cassette designed for professional marking of electrical wires and cables. It produces clear black text on white heat-shrink tubing, helping technicians identify individual conductors and organise wiring in control panels, electrical installations, network cabinets, machinery and workshop environments.
The tubing measures 12 mm wide and provides 1.5 metres of printable material. Made from industrial-grade polyolefin, it has a 3:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to contract tightly around a suitable cable when heat is applied. Once installed, the printed sleeve provides a neat, durable identification marker that stays around the cable rather than relying on an adhesive label attached to its outer surface.
The black-on-white colour combination offers strong contrast for easy reading. This makes the tubing useful for cable identification during installation, maintenance, inspection and troubleshooting, particularly where numerous wires need to be distinguished quickly and consistently.
The DYMO RHINO heat-shrink range is designed for demanding industrial environments. The tubing is specified as resistant to moisture, UV exposure, oil, chemicals and abrasion, and is designed to help printed identification remain legible during normal industrial use. The range is UL-recognised as a component to UL 224, meets specified MIL-M-81531, MIL-STD-202G and SAE-DTL-23053/5 requirements, and is RoHS compliant.
