Overview
This document provides technical information about DYMO nylon coated fabric tapes primarily used for identification purposes on various surfaces, including cables and wiring. It outlines product specifications, certifications, physical properties, and usage recommendations.

Product Description
- The DYMO nylon coated fabric tape is designed for thermal transfer printing.
- It is mainly used for identifying electrical cables and wiring.
- The tape is halogen-free and suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Available in black and white colors with sizes including ½ inch, ¾ inch, 12 mm, 19 mm, and 24 mm widths.

Certifications and Standards
- The tapes meet UL 969 standards and are recognized under UL regulations.
- Compliant with European Directives including REACH and RoHS.
- Certified as “substance compliant” with a high level of chemical safety.

Physical and Technical Properties
- Total thickness approximately 2 mil (50 microns) with dimensional stability after 24 hours at 158°F (70°C).
- Adhesion strength tested on various surfaces such as ABS, stainless steel, galvanized steel, PVC, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, EPDM rubber, and polyimide.
- Adhesive is acrylic-based, providing permanent adhesion and resistance to chemical exposure.
- Temperature range: minimum -40°C to maximum 70°C.
- Chemical resistance includes resistance to fuels, gasoline, isopropanol, ethanol, water, Skydrol (hydraulic fluid), ethylene glycol, and other common chemicals.
- UV light resistance and abrasion resistance tested with slight to no degradation in print quality.

Performance and Durability
- The tape maintains print quality and adhesive properties after exposure to humidity (up to 85% relative humidity) and temperature cycling.
- Shelf life is approximately 30 days under recommended storage conditions (21°C and 50% relative humidity).
- The tape shows no visible effect on text or background after 30 days of exposure to environmental conditions.

Usage Recommendations
- Suitable for permanent labeling on curved and flat surfaces.
- Not recommended for use on surfaces with poor adhesion properties or for applications requiring frequent label removal.
- Labels should be applied to clean, dry surfaces for optimal adhesion.
- The tape is designed for use with thermal transfer printers and compatible ribbons.

Limitations and Notices
- The product is not intended for direct food contact.
- Performance data is provided as a guide; actual results may vary depending on application conditions.
- DYMO disclaims warranties beyond the specifications provided and recommends independent testing for specific applications.
