See UL file E333786 for specific details. For information on the W eee-RoHS compliance status for a Brady Product go to one of the following websites: In Canada: www .bradycanada.ca/weee-rohs In Europe: www .bradyeurope.com/rohs In Japan: www . brady .co.jp/products/labelsuse/rohs All other regions: www .bradyid.com/weee-rohs SPECIAL FEA TURES B- 342 PermaSleeve T M Markers are made from heat shrinkable tubing that is qualified to SAE AS23053/5 (Class 4). See the QPL listing for Brady Corporation product part numbers PS-C-*. B-342 PermaSleeve T M Markers meet the mark permanence requirements of AS -81531 and AS-5942 when printed with the Brady Series R6600, R4300, R4502S, R6700 series thermal transfer ribbons, R5000 Series dot matrix ribbon, and with laser marking.” The operating temperature range is -55°C ( -67°F) to +135°C (+275°F). A minimum recovery temperature of 150°C (302°F) is recommended for B-342 PermaSleeve® markers. B- 342 is available in white, yellow , black, red, orange, green, blue, violet, pink, gray , and brown. B-342 can also be printed using laser marking method. Laser marking has very good environmental, abrasion, and chemical resistance.
