Cut Sheet
Minimum Application Temperature
10°C (50°F)
Service Temperature
-20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F)
Average Outdoor Durability:
Up to 3 years (Average expected outdoor life of product will depend on user definition of failure, climatic conditions,
mounting techniques, and material color.)
Chemical Resistance:
Samples were printed with the standard performance ribbons R-7968/R-7969 and the high performance ribbons
R-6000/R-4400 using the MINIMARK
TM
thermal transfer printer. Additional samples were printed with the R-10000 ribbon
using the BBP® 31 thermal transfer printer. Printed samples were laminated to aluminum and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior
to testing. Testing conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified
test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion the samples were rubbed 10 times with a cotton
swab saturated with test fluid.
