Material is a thermal transfer printable vinyl film with a pressure sensitive adhesive. Print Methods: This material is recommended for thermal transfer printing. Adhesive: Acrylic based, pressure sensitive permanent adhesive. Standard Colors: Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Purple, and Black Thickness: 3.2+/- 0.4 mils (substrate and adhesive) Service Temperature Range: -50F to 225F (-45.6C to 107C) Minimum Application Temperature: 40F (4.4C) Storage Conditions: Store at 70F (21C) and 50% Relative Humidity. For cassette products do not exceed 95F. PROPERTIES: PERFORMANCE: Peel Adhesion to Stainless Steel: 45 oz/in width minimum (PSTC-101, 15 min. dwell) MD 120% minimum (PSTC-131) Elongation: Gloss: Gloss at 60 degree angle shall be minimum 80 gloss units (GU) per ASTM D2457 UV Resistance: *3000 hours no change observed (ASTM G154) Elevated Temperature Exposure: After 8 hours at 150F (65.5C) there was no deterioration of the substrate Rev CHEMICAL/SOLVENT RESISTANCE: The testing was conducted at room temperature. Samples were thermal transfer printed with Panduit RMER4BL/ RMR11-BL (black) and RMER4WH/RMR11-WH (white) ribbons. Separate sets were conditioned for 24 hours before being immersed in the following solvents for a period of 1 hour and 24 hours. After the samples were removed from the immersed solvents, they were rubbed 10 times with a lint free gauze. Visual observations were noted for any smear or loss of legibility. *3000 hours equates to 5 years of assimilated outdoor UV exposure.
