    BRADY B-410 LASER PRINTABLE TAMPER EVIDENT POLYOLEFIN

    TDS No. B-410
    Effective Date: 11-Jun-2009

    Description:

    GENERAL

    Print Technology:  Laser and Dot Matrix

    Material Type:  Tamper Evident Polyolefin

    Finish:  Matte

    Adhesive:  Permanent Acrylic

     

    APPLICATIONS

    Labeling applications requiring evidence of tampering.

     

    RECOMMENDED RIBBONS

    Dot Matrix Ribbons

    Brady Series R2000 and R5000

     

    REGULATORY

    B-410 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

     

    SPECIAL FEATURES

    B-410 provides outstanding performance in laser and xerographic printing processes. B-410 also provides permanency and smudge resistance with dot-matrix printing, however, printing of barcodes is not recommended. B-410 irreversibly stretches when removed from a variety of surface types and textures.

    *B-410 material supported with B-632 for adhesion, tack and drop shear values. Without support, the B-410 material will irreversibly stretch and distort when removed from adhesion surfaces.

    Performance properties tested on B-410 were laser printed with the HP LaserJet 6P and dot-matrix printed using the Brady SLV-DAT-PTR printer with Brady R5000 and R2000 Series ribbon. Results the same for all printing unless noted otherwise.

    PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES
    CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

    Samples printed with an HP LaserJet 6P printer. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
