    BRADY B-220 MATTE WHITE POLYESTER TIRE LABEL

    TDS No. B-220
    Effective Date: 21-Feb-2000

    Description:
    B-220 is a white matte polyester film that is thermal transfer printable and has a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive.

    B-220 is designed for tire identification.

    B-220 is designed to withstand the harsh environments of vulcanization of passenger and light truck tire environments. In addition, B-220 is designed to strongly bond to a tire, but yet be removable after vulcanization. B-220 has very good initial tack and good print contrast even after vulcanization.

    Recommended ribbon is the Brady Series R4800.

    PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
    CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
    Samples were printed with R4800 ribbon using a Brady 300X printer, laminated to flat aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the flat samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swabs. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
