Samples were thermal transfer printed with Panduit RMR*BL/RMER*BL ribbon on the Panduit TDP43MY/TDP43ME printer. Separate sets were conditioned for 24 hours before being immersed in the following solvents for period of 1 hour and 24 hours. After the samples were removed from the immersed solvents, they were rubbed 10 times with a lint free gauze. Visual observations were noted for any smear or loss of legibility. 1 Hour Immersion Chemical/Solvent Visual Observation Jet Fuel No change Gasoline No change Methyl Ethyl Ketone Loss of print legibility 1:1:1 TCE Loss of print density Trichloroethylene Loss of print density 409 Cleaner No change Alpha Flux 200L No change 24 Hours Immersion Chemical Reagent Visual Observation Isopropyl Alcohol Loss of print density Water 150F No change Salt Water No change SAE 30 Motor Oil No change Hydraulic Fluid No change Skydrol Loss of print density Methanol/Water No change Ethylene Glycol No change ASTM 3 Oil No change Page 2 of 3 2005 PANDUIT Corp TDS: GMT4-W
