Water and Chemical Resistance
Water and chemical resistance tests were conducted in two
stages:
Stage 1 - The water and chemical submersion test
Stage 2 - The water and chemical abrasion test
To test Brother P-touch laminated labels against the effects of water and chemicals, the
tapes were fi rstly attached to glass slides and immersed in a variety of liquids for 2 hours.
No change in appearance or structure of the labels occurred, and the labels remained
affi xed to the slides.
Although some labels soaked in certain chemicals showed minor changes, rubbing the
labels with the same chemicals had no effect at all. So even if chemicals are spilled on your
Brother P-touch laminated labels, a quick wipe should be enough to prevent any damage.
