Technical Data Sheet

BRADY B-129 DOT MATRIX PRINTABLE STATIC DISSIPATIVE LABELS

TDS No. B-129
Effective Date: 11-Jan-2000

Description:
B-129 is a static dissipative paper with a dot matrix printable surface and a static dissipative acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive, supplied on a release liner.

B-129 is designed for static sensitive applications such as component labeling, ESD shielding bag labeling, and static awareness labels.

B-129 is static dissipative and can be used without fear of static charge. It has surface resistance values in the static dissipative range between 106 - 1012 ohms/sq. B-129 has a very aggressive adhesive, and the paper facestock will tear upon removal from many surfaces.

B-129 is dot matrix printable. For optimum print performance, use Brady Series R2000 indelible ink ribbon.

B-129 meets the requirement of EIA-541 "Packaging Materials Standards for ESD Sensitive Items", in which a charged material must decay to 1% of its initial voltage in less than 2 seconds.
