Pre-printed wiremarkers were wrapped around 0.080" OD wire and applied to flat aluminum panels. Samples allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. Immediately after final immersion, flat samples were rubbed with cotton swab. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
