    BRADY B-712 LASERTAB® MARKERS

    TDS No. B-712
    Effective Date: 12-Jan-2000

    Description:

    B-712 is a clear polyester film with a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and a translucent topcoat specifically formulated for laser printer toners.

    B--712 is recommended for telecommunications applications, computer housing units, rating plates, and asset I.D. that require good solvent resistance and moderate to high temperature performance.

    B-712 is formulated specially for laser printers. The material offers high print resolution, good solvent resistance, smudge resistance, and moderate to high temperature performance. The adhesive is specifically formulated for rough and low surface energy surfaces.

    CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
    Samples printed with a Hewlett Packard LaserJet III printer. 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. Ten cotton swab rubs wetted in the specified reagent after final immersion.
