BRADY B-292 DOT MATRIX PRINTABLE TRANSLUCENT VINYL TAPE

TDS No. B-292

Effective Date: 29-Jun-2007

Description:

GENERAL
Print Technology: Dot Matrix
Material Type: Translucent vinyl
Finish: Provided in a self-laminated format with a white printable zone and a translucent overlaminating area.
Adhesive: Permanent acrylic

APPLICATIONS
B-292 is an excellent material for wire and cable identification. This material has good clarity, conformability and is self-extinguishing. B-292 has outstanding water and oil resistance.

RECOMMENDED RIBBONS
Brady Series R2000, R5000 and R7300 black for dot matrix printing.

REGULATORY/AGENCY APPROVALS
B-292 is UL Recognized to UL969 Labeling and Marking Standard when printed with the Brady Series R2000, R5000, and R7300 dot matrix ribbons. See UL files MH10939 for specific details.

Brady B-292 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

Note- due to past non-compliant B-292 materials in the market, only B-292 products with RoHS compliance statement on product packaging are RoHS compliant.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

White printable zone of B-292 was printed with Brady Series R2000 and R5000 dot matrix ribbon inks. Samples wrapped around 0.080” OD TFE wire in a self-laminating format. Except where noted, testing was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of a 10 minute immersion in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period.
