PERFORMANCE PROPERTY Print Adherence per SAE-AS5942 (sec 4.1) TEST METHODS 20 eraser rubs with 2 lb pressure TYPICAL RESULTS Print legible, no visible effect Solvent Resistance per SAE-AS5942 (Sec 3.4.2) MIL-STD-202-215 Method 215 Print legible, no visible effect Chemical resistance Samples were thermal transfer printed with Brady R6600 series black ribbon. Tests were conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical reagent followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion, the samples were removed from the test fluid and the printed image was rubbed 20 (10 double rubs) times with a cotton swab saturated with the test fluid.
