Question 3

Chemical resistance

Accepted Answer

Test Method: ASTM D896 Tests at room temperature after 24 hours of bonding on stainless steel: 5 cycles of 10 minutes in the chemicals, with a 30-minute waiting period each. 24 hours after the last exposure compared to 72 hours of bonding on stainless steel at room temperature.

Household Cleaner: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
Isopropyl Alcohol: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
Gasoline: No visual changes, 30% decrease in adhesive strength.
Toluene: No visual changes, 25% decrease in adhesive strength.
Oil (SAE 10W-30): No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
Acetic Acid (5%): No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
Water: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.

Question 4

Moisture resistance

Accepted Answer

Test Method: Tests on stainless steel at 38°C and 95% relative humidity compared to 72 hours of bonding on stainless steel at room temperature.

1 Day + 15 Min. Waiting Time: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
1 Day + 24 Hrs. Waiting Time: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
7 Days + 15 Min. Waiting Time: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
7 Days + 24 Hrs. Waiting Time: No visual changes or decrease in adhesive strength.
3 Days Submerged +24 Hrs. Waiting Time: No visual changes, 30% decrease in adhesive strength.

Question 5

Printability

Accepted Answer

Suitable for conventional printing methods (solvent-based and UV inks) as well as hot stamping.

Question 6

Storage

Accepted Answer

Shelf life of 2 years when stored at a maximum of 21°C and 50% relative humidity. Avoid storage in very high humidity, heat, or cold.

Question 7

Further information

Accepted Answer

Outdoor durability depends on the bonding surfaces; the label material is suitable for outdoor use for at least two years. The foil complies with RoHS requirements (2002/95/EC) – IMDS data is available upon request. Please contact your external or internal sales representative for the current version of this data sheet.
