APPLICATIONS
B-427 is an excellent material for wire and cable identification. This material has good clarity, conformability and is self-extinguishing. B-427 has outstanding water and oil resistance.
RECOMMENDED RIBBONS
Brady Series R4300 black and R4500 colored (red, blue, green) for thermal transfer printing.
REGULATORY/AGENCY APPROVALS
B-427 is UL Recognized to UL969 Labeling and Marking Standard when printed with the Brady
Series R4300 and R6200 ribbons. See UL files MH17154 for specific details.
B-427 is RoHS compliant to 2005/618/EC MCV amendment to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
NoteDue to past non-compliant B-427 materials in the market, only B-427 products with RoHS compliance statement on product packaging are RoHS compliant.
