Technical Data Sheet

BRADY B-111 SELF-WOUND POLYESTER OVERLAMINATE

TDS No. B-111
Effective Date: 05-Feb-2007

Description:

 

GENERAL

Print Technology: n/a

Material Type:  Clear Polyester

Finish:   Glossy Clear

Adhesive:  Acrylic

 

APPLICATIONS

Brady B-111 is used as a protective overlaminate.   B-111 in a 2-ply put up can be used for paint masking or other similar applications in which the topside overlaminate is removed and the bottomside overlaminate remains.

 

REGULATORY APPROVALS

Brady B-111 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS DIrective 2002/95/EC.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES

B-111 is supplied in self-wound format to be used with Brady Protector™ laminator which prints, overlaminates, and diecuts labels. B-111 has a topside silicone release which provides easy unwinding of self-wound rolls.

Brady B-111 is recommended for use with most standard Brady label materials.   B-111 has excellent clarity, as well as very good temperature resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Samples were tested overlaminated over Brady B-423 white polyester. Samples allowed to dwell 24 hours at room temperature prior to testing. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. Except where noted otherwise, testing was conducted at room temperature.
