PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Samples were printed with HP 600 Series inks, laminated to flat aluminum panels, and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the flat samples were rubbed with cotton swabs. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
