BRADY B-330 BRADYWRAP MARKER

TDS No. B-330

Effective Date: 25-Oct-2007

Description:

GENERAL
Print Technology: Thermal transfer and dot matrix
Material Type: Heat shrinkable polyolefin

Adhesive: Heat activated polyester

APPLICATIONS
Identification of wire bundles, large conduits and installed cables

RECOMMENDED RIBBONS
Brady R2000 and R5000 Series for dot matrix printing
Brady R4300 and R6200 Series for thermal transfer printing

SPECIAL FEATURES
B-330 incorporates a matrix of pressure sensitive adhesive dots which promotes initial tack and adhesion during application.

B-330 Bradywrap™ Marker can be heat activated using a heat tool or an oven (2 minutes at 275°F) to create the most permanent adhesive bond. B-330 can also be used without heat activation. A 72 hour dwell is recommended when product is not heat activated.

B-330 is available in white and yellow.

Performance properties were tested on B-330 printed with Series R4300 and R6200 ribbons using BradyPrinter™ THT Model 300X thermal transfer printer, and with Series R2000 and R5000 ribbons using the SLV-DAT-PTR and the LS2000 (R5000 only) dot matrix printers. Printed samples of B-330 were wrapped around two 0.5 inch OD black MTW wires. One sample dwelled at room temperature for 72 hours and the other was heated at 135°C for 2 minutes before exposure to the indicated environmental conditions. Unless noted, results are the same for room temperature and heated samples.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTY

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Samples printed with Series R4300 and R6200 thermal transfer ribbons and Series R2000 and R5000 dot matrix ribbons. Printed samples of B-330 white were wrapped around two 0.5" OD black MTW wires. One sample dwelled at room temperature for 72 hours and the other was heated at 135°C for 2 minutes. Test was conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
