Elevated Temperature Exposure

After 8 hours at 150°F (65.5°C) there was no deterioration of

the substrate

Dielectric Strength:

2,133 Volts/Mil (ASTM D149-97, Method A)

*3000 hours equates to 5 years of assimilated outdoor UV exposure.

CHEMICAL/SOLVENT RESISTANCE:

Samples were thermal transfer printed with RMH*BL/RMEH*BL ribbon printed on a Panduit

TDP43MY/TDP43ME printer. These samples were wrapped around a 1/12” OD wire in self-laminating format.

Test was conducted at room temperature after 24 hour dwell. The samples were immersed in the specified

chemical reagents for 5 immersions using the following cycle: a 10 minute immersion time followed by a 30
