PERFORMANCE PROPERTY

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Samples were printed with Brady Series R2000 dot matrix ribbon and with Series R4300 and R6200 thermal transfer ribbons. Test was 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 last immersion samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab.
