Drop Shear PSTC-7 (except use 1/2 x 1 70 hours sample) Tensile Strength and Elongation ASTM D 1000 -Machine 38 lbs/inch (665N/100 mm), 68% -Cross 56 lbs/inch (980N/100 mm), 46% Dielectric Strength ASTM D 1000 9000 volts ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES TEST METHODS AVERAGE RESULTS 8 Surface Resistivity - Adhesive EOS/ESD S11.11 5 x 10 ohms/sq. -adhesive 10 Liner Surface Resistivity EOS/ESD S11.11 1.7 x 10 ohms/sq 9 - Release side 2.5 x 10 ohms/sq - Backside Static Decay - Adhesive EIA-541 to 1% of initial charge 0.01 seconds Static Decay - Liner EIA-541 to 1% of initial charge - Release side 0.2 seconds Voltage Value is obtained by removing a (Label removed from liner, 1.5 x 0.25 label from liner and 10 volts adhesive tested) immediately holding label to a static sensing device calibrated in volts. Voltage Value is obtained by removing a (Label removed from liner, liner label from liner and immediately 3.4 volts tested) holding label to a static sensing device calibrated in volts. The following testing was performed with B-473 thermal transfer printed on a BradyPrinter THT 300X using a Brady Series R6000 ribbon. Labels printed with 3:1 ratio barcodes with 6 mil X dimension bars and alphanumerics. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES TEST METHOD TYPICAL RESULTS Short Term High Service 5 minutes at 354F (180C) No visible effect to label at Temperature 180C. Slight film shrinkage at 190C but label is still functional. At 210C label has severe film shrinkage. Long Term High Service 30 days at 248F (120C) No visible effect at 120C Temperature Low Service Temperature 30 days at -40F (-40C) No visible effect at -40C Humidity Resistance 30 days at 100F (37C) and No visible effect 95% R.H. UV Light Resistance 30 days in UV Sunlighter 100 No visible effect 1 Weatherability ASTM G155, Cycle 1 30 days in Xenon Arc No visible effect Weatherometer Salt Fog Resistance ASTM B 117 30 days in 5% salt fog solution No visible effect chamber PERFORMANCE PROPERTY CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Samples printed with Series R4900 and R6000 ribbons using a BradyPrinter Model 300X. Labels printed with 3:1 ratio barcodes with 6 mil narrow X dimension bars and alphanumerics. Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by a 30 minute recovery period. Samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab immersed in test fluid after final immersion.
