Performance properties tested on B-486 printed with alphanumerics, and a 5 mil and 10 mil minimum X dimension barcode using Series R4300 and R6200 ribbons and a BradyPrinter™ THT 300X Thermal Transfer Printer. Printed samples of B-486 were laminated to aluminum before exposure to the indicated environmental condition. Results the same for both ribbons unless noted otherwise.

Samples were printed with R4300 ribbon using a Brady 300X printer, laminated to flat aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the flat samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swabs. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
