Tamper evident adhesive performance properties were tested on B-7566 laminated to the indicated surfaces, exposed to the indicated environments and removed from the environments prior to testing. The label was removed at a 135° angle with a peel rate of 90 in/min and the remaining VOID adhesive pattern on each surface was observed. Upon label removal, tamper evidency may not always be apparent on the surface to which the label was adhered. In most cases, the label is not reusable as the VOID pattern will be visible on the top surface of the label.

Performance properties tested on B-7566 samples printed using Series R6000 ribbon and a BradyPrinter™ THT Model 300X Thermal Transfer Printer. The labels were printed with alphanumerics and 3:1 ratio with 6 mil minimum X dimension barcode. Printed samples of B-7566 were laminated to aluminum before exposure to the indicated environmental condition.

Samples printed with a BradyPrinter™ THT Model 300X using Brady Series R6000 ribbon and then laminated to aluminum panels. Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical reagent followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
