High Service Temperature 30 days at 248°F (120°C) No visible effect at 90°C. Slight discoloration but still functional at 120°C
Low Service Temperature 30 days at -40°F (-40°C) No visible effect
Humidity Resistance 30 days at 100°F (37°C), 95% R.H. No visible effect
UV Light Resistance 30 days in UV Sunlighter™ 100 No visible effect
Weatherability ASTM G155, Cycle 1
30 days in Xenon Arc Weatherometer		 No visible effect*
Abrasion Resistance Taber Abraser, CS-10 grinding wheels, 1000 g/arm (Fed. Std. 191A, Method 5306) Polyester overlaminate worn through at 350 cycles.
* Results reported for white tape with black print. Many of the solid color samples fade severely in weatherometer test.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
SOLVENT RESISTANCE

Pre-printed wiremarkers were wrapped around 0.080" OD wire and also were laminated to flat aluminum panels. Samples allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemicals followed by 30 minute recovery periods. Testing was conducted at room temperature.
