HARRISBURG, Pa. -- March 13, 2009 -- An enhancement to the popular SB line, SBPlus labels feature improved adhesion to prevent delamination, maintain readability, and increase long-term reliability. The laminate is a clear vinyl that maintains high translucence without cloudiness or loss of legibility.
SBPlus labels use a thermal transfer printable, translucent vinyl film with a permanent acrylic adhesive, supplied with a white printable area, which is over-laminated upon application with the translucent portion of the label. This self-laminating feature protects the printed area from exposure to oil, solvents, water and abrasion.
SBPlus labels conform to round, irregular or flexible surfaces and are suitable for use in applications where the cable or wire is flexed repeatedly--including flat ribbon cables that are subject to repeated bending. The labels meet the requirements of UL 969 for marking and labeling systems. For added application flexibility, the labels can be flagged around a wire compared to traditional wrapping. For reliable print performance and durability, Tyco Electronics offers thermal transfer ribbons.
