CHEMICAL/SOLVENT RESISTANCE:
Samples were thermal transfer printed with Panduit RMEH*BL hybrid and RMER*BL resin ribbons, pre-printed and dot-matrix
printed with Panduit dot matrix ribbon. These samples were laminated to flat steel panels and also wrapped around a 1/12” OD
wire. 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-minute recovery time. After
the final immersion the flat samples were rubbed 10 times with a lint free gauze.
