Description:
Brady B-139 is a 1.0 mil clear polyvinyl fluoride film with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. B-139 is supplied in self-wound format to be used with Brady Protector™ laminator which prints, overlaminates, and diecuts labels. B-139 has a topside silicone release which provides easy unwinding of self-wound rolls.
Brady B-139 is recommended for use with most standard Brady label materials. B-139 has excellent clarity, as well as very good temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. B-139 is specially developed for use in applications where resistance to UV light and outdoor weathering is required.
