Performance properties tested on B- 425A printed with the Brady Series R4300, the Brady Series R6200 and the Brady Series R6400 ribbons. Printed samples were laminated to aluminum and allowed to dwell 24 hours before exposure to the indicated environmental conditions. Results the same for all ribbons unless noted otherwise. PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES TEST METHOD TYPICAL RESULTS Short Term High Service Temperature 5 minutes at various temperatures No visible effect to label at 266°F (130°C), very slight label shrinkage at 293°F (145°C) but still functional, slight discoloration and severe curl at 320°F(160°C). Long Term High Service Temperature 30 days at various temperatures No visible effect to label at 176°F (80°C), slight label discoloration at 212°F (100°C) but label still functional, severe discoloration at 248°F (120°C). Low Service Temperature 30 days at - 40°F ( -40°C) 30 days at -94°F (- 70°C) No visible effect Humidity Resistance 30 days at 100°F (37°C)/ and 95% Relative Humidity No visible effect Weatherability ASTM G155, Cycle 1 30 days in Xenon Arc Weatherometer Topcoat becomes chalky Abrasion Resistance Taber Abraser, CS- 10 grinding wheels, 500 g/arm (Fed. Std. 191A, Method 5306) Appearance to print after 100 cycles: R4300: moderate to severe print removal; print barely legible. R6200: moderate print removal; print legible. R6400: slight/moderate print removal; print legible. B -425 is not recommended for long -term outdoor use. PERFORMANCE PROPERTY CHEMICAL RESISTANCE \\\\\\ Chemical resistance tested on B- 425A printed with the Brady Series R4300, the Brady Series R6200 and the Brady Series R6400 ribbons. Test was conducted at room temperature except where noted. Testing consisted of 30 minute immersion in the specified test fluid. The samples were removed and rubbed 10 times with a cotton swab saturated with the test fluid. The rating scale below shows the effect to the quality of the print for each sample.
