SPECIAL FEATURES

B-422 is designed to withstand exposure to numerous solvents and exhibits good adhesion to many surfaces including low surface energy plastics.

B-422 is UL Recognized for Outdoor Use on glass, thermoset polyester plastic and polyvinyl fluoride plastic surfaces to support solar panel identification applications.

Performance properties tested on B-422 printed with Series R4900, R6000  and R6000 Halogen Free ribbons.  Printed samples of B-422 were laminated to aluminum and allowed to dwell 24 hours before exposure to the indicated environments. Unless noted, results are the same for both ribbons.

Samples printed with Series R4900, R6000 and R6000 Halogen Free ribbons.  Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
