Description:
Brady B-390 Inserts are printable, rigid inserts designed to be printed and affixed to a wire using extruded, clear PVC Brady Wire Marking Carriers.
Brady B-390 inserts are supplied roll form formatted for thermal transfer printing on the TLS 2200™ Thermal Labeling System and benchtop printers.
The TLS 2200Ò printer requires the Brady Series R6000 high performance ribbon. The benchtop printers require the Brady Series R6000 or R6200 high performance ribbons.
B-390 is supplied in a custom height and two widths which are compatible with carriers. The available widths are 15 mm and 30 mm. Brady Wire Marking Carriers are supplied cut to length. Available lengths include 15 mm and 30 mm. Carrier sizes are for marking wires from 1.3 mm to 16.0 mm in diameter (OD).
Exposing the inserts to UV light for an extended period of time will embrittle the product. B-390 is designed for one time use only.
Brady B-390 meets the requirements of a halogen-fee material per DIN VDE 0472 part 815. (Statement based on review of product construction and confirmatory halogen content test run at an independent test laboratory. Statement excludes PVC Wire Marking Carriers.)

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Samples were printed with Series R6000 and R6200 ribbons 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 samples were rubbed with cotton swabs. Testing was conducted with inserts outside of carriers at room temperature; results are improved when samples are tested after inserting into carriers. Carrier results are from tests without the inserts.
