PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Samples were printed with Series R4900, R6000 and R6200 ribbons using a Bradyprinter™ 300X-Plus thermal transfer printer. Samples were laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Testing was conducted at room temperature except where noted. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion print rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
