Standard Laboratory Test Protocol

Brady chemical immersion testing follows strict standardized procedures:

  • Immersion Cycles: 5 cycles consisting of 10-minute soaks in SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants followed by 30-minute recovery periods at 22°C (72°F).
  • Rub Test: Following final immersion, printed legends are rubbed with a cotton swab saturated in SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants for 10–20 double rubs under ~1 lb of downward force.
  • Adhesive Inspection: Evaluated for edge lift, adhesive softening, ooze, or dissolution from stainless steel panels.

Thermal Ribbon Chemistry Importance

Face stocks like polyester and polyimide resist SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants, but standard wax/resin ribbons will smear or dissolve instantly upon contact.

Required Formulation: Pure Resin (Series R6000HF / R6600)
Thermoset resin formulations crosslink under high printhead heat, creating a solvent-impermeable matrix that withstands aggressive wipe-downs.

Frequently Asked Questions: SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants Resistance

Q: Why does standard vinyl (like B-595) soften or wrinkle when exposed to SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants?

Vinyl (PVC) polymers contain plasticizers that make the film pliable. Aggressive organic solvents like SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants extract plasticizers from the vinyl matrix, causing the film to swell, wrinkle, and soften the underlying acrylic adhesive. For heavy solvent contact, polyester (B-423) or polyimide (B-652) are recommended.

Q: What is the difference between an immersion rating and a wipe-down rub test?

A wipe-down test simulates routine machine cleaning with a saturated rag for 10–20 rubs. An immersion test submerges the label directly into SAE 20 / ASTM #3 Motor Oil & Lubricants for 5 cycles of 10 minutes. Many materials survive wipe-downs without degradation, but continuous total immersion requires specialized crosslinked resin ribbons and chemical-resistant face stocks.
