Outdoor Durability

A reliable labeling solution for outdoor use is vital to customers in industries

such as solar energy and utilities. Standard label materials are not designed

to withstand the extreme exposure to UV light, moisture, and temperature

fluctuations of an outdoor application. Panduit has many years of experience

in designing, testing, and manufacturing labels and markers with special

properties specifically for outdoor use. For example, Panduit raised panel

labels are designed to last through 20 years of outdoor exposure and are

verified and tested for weather resistance and for use in demanding solar

applications. Panduit also provides over-laminate materials to extend the

life of printed labels outdoors.

Fire Safety Properties

In some applications, fire safety is a critical concern. For these environments,

identification labels and markers with low-smoke emissions and no

halogens are required. Panduit Halogen-Free, Heat Shrink Labels meet

the strict requirements of BS6853; 1999 Vehicle Category 1a for burning

behavior and toxic gas emissions. Additionally, Panduit flame-retardant,

halogen-free marker plates meet UL Standard 224 with a VW-1 rating

for flammability and AMS-DTL-23053/5C (Class 1 and Class 3). These

properties are particularly important to industries such as rail transit,

shipbuilding, and industrial construction.
