PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Samples printed with the Brady Series R­7962, R­4900 and R6000 Halogen Free thermal transfer ribbons. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test conducted at room temperature. 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. CHEMICAL REAGENT Water Isopropanol EFFECT TO LABEL STOCK N.V.E. N.V.E.
