Brady, PS-187-2-WT, PermaSleeve Heat Shrink Wire and Cable Labels, 3/16" Dia, for 3" Core Printers - 2", White, Single-Sided
Brady PS-187-2-WT PermaSleeve Heat Shrink Wire and Cable Labels, 3/16" Dia, 2" Length, White, Single-Sided
The Brady PS-187-2-WT PermaSleeve® is a heat-shrink polyolefin (B-342) wire and cable marking sleeve designed for permanent, high-quality wire identification in demanding environments. With a 3:1 shrink ratio, the sleeve fits snugly around wires for maximum insulation protection and a professional, permanent label that won’t fade, smudge, or fall off. Rated for -67°F to 275°F (-55°C to 135°C), flame-retardant, and cold-resistant, PS-187-2-WT is built for aerospace, military, industrial, and wire harness applications where label permanence and compliance are non-negotiable. Designed for use with Brady 3" core label printers.
Sold as a roll (single-sided, white). Requires ribbon IP-R6600 for BradyPrinter i5100 or BRADY IP® Series printers; use R6600 for other compatible printers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What printers are compatible with the PS-187-2-WT?
The PS-187-2-WT is designed for Brady label printers with a 3" core. Use ribbon part number IP-R6600 for the BradyPrinter i5100 or BRADY IP® Series label printers. For other compatible Brady printers, use ribbon R6600. Always verify printer compatibility before ordering to ensure correct ribbon and core size match.
What does the 3:1 shrink ratio mean for wire labeling?
A 3:1 shrink ratio means the sleeve can shrink down to one-third of its original diameter when heat is applied. This allows the PS-187-2-WT to fit a wider range of wire diameters before shrinking, then conform tightly around the wire after heat application — providing maximum insulation protection, a secure fit, and a label that cannot slide or rotate on the wire.
Is the PS-187-2-WT suitable for aerospace and military applications?
Yes. The PS-187-2-WT meets SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5C (Class 1), SAE-AS-81531, and MIL-STD-202 standards, making it qualified for aerospace wiring, military/defense wire harness identification, and other regulated applications requiring traceable, permanent wire marking. It is also UL Recognized and RoHS compliant.
How does PermaSleeve compare to standard adhesive wire labels?
Unlike adhesive labels that can peel, slide, or degrade over time, PermaSleeve® heat-shrink sleeves physically conform to the wire and cannot be removed without cutting. The printed image is fade-resistant and smudge-proof, making PermaSleeve the preferred choice for permanent wire identification in harsh environments, high-temperature applications, and any installation where label integrity must be maintained over the life of the wiring.
