PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
SOLVENT RESISTANCE
B-361B self-laminate samples were printed with laser printer. Samples wrapped around 0.080" OD TFE jacketed wires and 0.250" OD MTW wires and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Unprinted samples also applied to flat aluminum panels. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
