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.
