| TDS No. B-410 |
Effective Date: 08-Jun-2000

Description:
B-410 is a white laser printable, tamper evident polyolefin with a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive.
B-410 is a high performance material designed for use in labeling applications requiring evidence of tampering.
B-410 provides outstanding performance in laser and xerographic printing processes. B-410 also provides permanency and smudge resistance with dot-matrix printing, however, printing of barcodes is not recommended. B-410 irreversibly stretches when removed from a variety of surface types and textures.

*B-410 material supported with B-632 for adhesion, tack and drop shear values. Without support, the B-410 material will irreversibly stretch and distort when removed from adhesion surfaces.
Performance properties tested on B-410 were laser printed with the HP LaserJet 6P and dot-matrix printed using the Brady SLV-DAT-PTR printer with Brady R5000 and R2000 Series ribbon. Results the same for all printing unless noted otherwise.

Samples printed with an HP LaserJet 6P printer. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
