BRADY B-737 LASERTAB® MARKERS
TDS No. B-737
Effective Date: 12/16/1999
Description:
Brady B-737 is a polyvinylfluoride film with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive and a topcoating specially formulated for laser printers and toners.
Brady B-737 is designed for applications, like cable marking and component identification, that require a self-extinguishing material as well as good solvent and high temperature resistance.
Brady B-737 is formulated especially for laser printers. The material offers high print resolution, good solvent and smudge resistance. B-737 has been judged to be self-extinguishing by laboratory testing.
