PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Samples were printed with Brady Series R-6000 and R-7964 thermal transfer ribons using a BradyPrinter^TM BP-PR600 PLUS and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersion in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid. Testing was conducted with inserts outside the carriers at room temperature; results are improved when samples are tested after inserting into carriers. Carriers results are from tests without the inserts.
