Technical Data Sheet

BRADY B-709 POLYESTER LASERTAB® MARKER

TDS No. B-709
Effective Date: 26-Jun-2000

Description:
B-709 is a polyester film with a removable acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and a white printable coating specially formulated for laser printers and toners.

B-709 is for alphanumeric and barcode applications that require good solvent resistance and moderate to high temperature performance. This product works well on the topside of most circuit boards and IC's, as well as for general labeling.

B-709 has a specially formulated adhesive which removes cleanly from most surfaces. It is recommended to test for removability before use on any surface.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Samples printed with a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6P laser printer. Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of a 1 hour immersion in the specified chemicals. After the immersion the samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swabs saturated in test fluids. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
