Description:
Brady B-607 is a tamper-evident white vinyl film with a matte white computer printable topcoat and an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive.
Brady B-607 is used where a computer printable non-removable or tamper-indicating label is needed.
Brady B-607 has an aggressive adhesive and is designed to fracture easily to prevent one-piece removal.
Brady B-607 is UL Recognized and CSA Accepted when printed with designated printing inks as well as with the Brady Series 2000 and 5000 dot matrix ribbons. See UL File MH10939 and CSA Acceptance Record LS 41833 for specific details.

Samples were printed with Brady Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons, laminated to aluminum panels, and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After final immersion the samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swabs saturated in test fluid. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
