Description:
Brady B-619 is a white polyester film with a matte printable topcoat and a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive.
Brady B-619 is recommended for a variety of uses including general purpose high performance labels, barcode labels, and topside of printed circuit board and IC identification. The Brady Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons are recommended for dot matrix printing of B-619.
Brady B-619 has good smudge resistance, solvent resistance, and high temperature performance.
Brady B-619 is UL recognized and CSA accepted when printed with designated printing inks as well as with the Brady Series 2000 and 5000 dot matrix ribbons. See UL file MH10939 and CSA Acceptance Record LS41833 for specific details.

SOLVENT RESISTANCE
|
Samples printed with Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test was conducted at room temperature except where noted. 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.
