BRADY B-367 CUSTOM FOOTPRINTING TAMPER-EVIDENT POLYPROPYLENE LABEL STOCK

TDS No. B-367

Effective Date: 02-Feb-2010

Description:

GENERAL
Print Technology: Thermal Transfer
Material Type: Polypropylene

Finish: Gloss, available in white, black, gray and custom colors
Adhesive: Tamper Indicating Rubber

APPLICATIONS

Customized rating plates, tamper seals, or package closures that require high performance and evidence of label removal.

RECOMMENDED RIBBONS

R6000, R6000HF

REGULATORY/AGENCY APPROVALS

UL: In testing.

Brady B-367 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC when printed with R6000 and R6000HF ribbons.

Brady B-367 is compliant to IEC61249-2-21 (2003-11) when printed with R6000HF ribbon.

SPECIAL FEATURES
B-367 is designed to leave a customized footprint pattern (i.e. logos, special warnings, instructions, etc) when the label is removed. In addition, the footprint pattern will appear on the top surface of the label in order to prevent it from being reused. Contact Brady for design footprint restrictions and minimum order requirements.

A 24-hour dwell period is recommended before removal for full tamper evident performance. The adhesive nature of this product does not allow for repositioning and requires minimal handling in order to prevent prematurely exposed footprint pattern.

Tamper evident performance properties tested on B-367 laminated to the indicated surfaces and exposed to the indicated environments. The label was removed at 135° angle with a peel rate of 30 in/min and the remaining "footprint" pattern was observed. Footprint size tested was 1.3 mm in height to 4 mm in height . Please note, we encourage customers to always evaluate B-367 in their actual applications.

Performance properties tested on B-367 samples printed using Series R6000 ribbon and a BradyPrinter™ THT Model 600X-Plus II Thermal Transfer Printer. The labels were printed with alphanumerics and 3:1 ratio with 13.6 mil minimum X dimension barcode. Printed samples of B-367 were laminated to aluminum before exposure to the indicated environmental condition.

Chemical Resistance tested on B-367 samples printed with BradyPrinter™ THT Model 600X-Plus II using Brady Series R6000 ribbon. The labels were printed with alphanumerics and 3:1 ratio with 13.6 mil minimum X dimension barcode. Printed samples of B-367 were laminated to aluminum before exposure to the indicated chemical reagent. Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of one 5 minute immersion in the specified chemical reagent. After immersion, samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
