Description:
Brady B-632 is a polyvinylfluoride film with a matte white printable topcoat and a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive.
Brady B-632 is recommended for wire identification and label applications where self-extinguishing properties are required. Brady Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons are recommended for dot matrix printing of B-632.
Brady B-632 has good smudge resistance, solvent resistance, and elevated temperature performance. B-632 is a thin tape with excellent flexibility for wrapping on small diameter wires.

SOLVENT RESISTANCE
|
Samples were printed with Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons, laminated to aluminum panels, and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the samples were rubbed with cotton swabs. Samples also tested wrapped on 0.080" OD wires. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
