The Heatex™ range of cable and wire markers and other cable identification products are particularly suited to the high-temperature wiring and cabling demands of the railway industry.

The Heatex™ cable and wire markers can be printed on both sides simultaneously, which saves time and trouble and ensures the correct print is applied to matching sides.

Brady produces halogen-free flexible flame retardant heat shrinkable polyolefine tubing with ideal printability properties for cable and wire identification purposes.

Heatex™ markers run fast through the CAB printers because the speed setting can be set to maximum output.

Brady labels software enables the user to print mounting instructions on the thermal sensitive liner and therefore avoid carrying blueprints into the workshop, saving a great deal of time.
