CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
|
White printable zone of B-451 was printed with Brady Series R2000 and R5000 dot matrix ribbon inks and Brady Series R4300 black thermal transfer ribbon. Samples wrapped around 0.080” OD TFE wire in a self-laminating format. Except where noted, testing was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of a 10 minute immersion in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period.
B-451 is not recommended for use in harsh organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, or 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
