Description:
Brady B-799 is a polyamide coated nylon cloth with a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and a topcoat specifically formulated for laser or write-on printing.
B-799 is designed for wiremarking and general labeling applications that require a permanent identification label. B-799 is not recommended for outdoor use.
B-799 has good laser print resolution, good solvent resistance, smudge resistance, and moderate temperature performance. The specially formulated permanent adhesive will bond to many surfaces. It is recommended to test for permanency before use on any surface.
Brady B-799 meets the requirements of a halogen-free material per DIN VDE 0472 part 815. (Statement based on review of product construction and confirmatory halogen content test run at an independent test laboratory.)

Samples printed with Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5P laser printer. Samples were laminated to aluminum panels and wrapped around a 12 AWG, TFE jacketed wire and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. 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 period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
