CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

The following testing is performed with B-114 ink jet printed with Hewlett Packard 600 Series black ink. Samples laminated to aluminum panels. All samples allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the samples were rubbed with cotton swabs. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
