For information on the Weee-RoHS compliance status for a Brady Product go to one of the following websites: In Canada: ​www.bradycanada.ca/weee-rohs In Europe: ​www.bradyeurope.com/rohs In Japan: ​ www.​brady.co.jp/products/labelsuse/rohs All other regions: ​www.bradyid.com/weee-rohs SPECIAL FEATURES B-718 is constructed with a static dissipative adhesive. This product has adhesive surface resistivity values in the recommended range for dissipative ESD packaging materials as defined by ANSI/ESD S5412008 (between 10​4​ and 10​11​ ohms). B-718 has a low profile (1 mil) film allowing for easier use in processes which demand thin and/or lighter weight label Materials. B-718 in combination with the Brady Series R6000 Halogen Free ribbon meets the requirements of MIL-STD-202G, Method 215K. Preheat can be employed to further enhance print permanence in the case of extreme solvent and/or abrasion exposure. B-718 is designed to withstand multiple cycles of harsh condition washes for printed circuit boards.
