PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
SOLVENT RESISTANCE

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.
