Technical Details & Test Data

Special Considerations
  • All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of any surface contamination. IPA is the recommended cleaning solution.
  • We recommend exposing printed labels to high heat (302°F/150°C) prior to performance testing.
  • The printed surface should not be touched while hot. The resin TTR will be soft and will smudge or remove.
  • Test data is based on Laboratory test structure. Actual application testing should be done to confirm suitability for application.
