PERFORMANCE PROPERTY

HEAT/CHEMICAL/ABRASION RESISTANCE

B-416 Samples printed with Series R6000 or R6500 or R8963 thermal transfer ribbons using a BradyPrinter™ THT 300X plus at a burn temperature of 27. Samples exposed to the indicated environments. Abrasion Performance tested with 10 strokes of a cotton applicator saturated with the tested fluid.

Two chemicals were tested (Isopropyl Alcohol 99%, 82°C - 10 minutes and DI water 100°C - 10 minutes) with R6000, R6500 and R8963. The test results were all "No visible effect".
