BRADY B-367 CUSTOM FOOTPRINTING TAMPER-EVIDENT POLYPROPYLENE LABEL STOCK

TDS No. B-367

Effective Date: 07-Dec-2006

Description:

GENERAL
Print Technology: Thermal Transfer
Material Type: Polypropylene
Finish: Gloss, available in white and silver
Adhesive: Tamper Indicating Acrylic

APPLICATIONS
Customized rating plates, tamper seals, or package closures that require high performance and evidence of label removal.

RECOMMENDED RIBBONS
R4900, R6000, R4400 (colored) series ribbons

REGULATORY/AGENCY APPROVALS

UL: B-367 is a UL Recognized Component to UL969 Labeling and Marking Standard when printed with Brady Series R4900 and R6000 ribbon. See UL file MH17154 and MH10939 for specific details. UL information can be accessed on line at UL.com. Search in Certifications area.

Brady B-367 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

SPECIAL FEATURES
B-367 is designed to leave a customized footprint pattern (i.e. logos, special warnings, instructions, etc) when the label is removed. In addition, the footprint pattern will appear on the top surface of the label in order to prevent it from being reused. Contact Brady for design footprint restrictions and minimum order requirements.

A 24-hour dwell period is recommended before removal for full tamper evident performance. The adhesive nature of this product does not allow for repositioning and requires minimal handling in order to prevent prematurely exposed footprint pattern.

Tamper evident performance properties tested on B-367 laminated to the indicated surfaces and exposed to the indicated environments. The label was removed at 135° angle with a peel rate of 90 in/min and the remaining "footprint" pattern was observed. Footprint size tested was 1.3 mm in height. Please note, we encourage customers to always evaluate B-367 in their actual applications.

Performance properties tested on B-367 samples printed using Series R4900 and R6000 ribbon and a BradyPrinter™ THT Model 300X-Plus Thermal Transfer Printer. The labels were printed with alphanumerics and 3:1 ratio with 6 mil minimum X dimension barcode. Printed samples of B-367 were laminated to aluminum before exposure to the indicated environmental condition.

Samples printed with a BradyPrinter™ THT Model 300X-Plus using Brady Series R4900 and R6000 ribbon and then laminated to aluminum panels. Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical reagent followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
