Labels for Safety, Visual and Facility ID Desktop Printers
Product spotlight: crisp resolution for the smallest of labels

The shrinking printed circuit board, paired with the desire to add more information to barcode labels used for product traceability, has introduced a new challenge — the need for a small barcode label that remains decodable at the smallest of font sizes.
The barcode or alphanumeric identification must also be able to:
- Withstand the extreme environments for printed circuit board and electronic component manufacturing and assembly
- Be laser marked without creating soot
- Be compatible with auto-dispensing applications
Brady B-734 matte white laser markable polyimide material is a non-sooting option ideal for difficult-to-survive conditions, including high-temperature reflow steps for surface-mount technology and washing steps that limit the use of traditional thermal heat transfer print.
Our laser markable labels, which includes B-734, are designed to withstand high temperatures, harsh chemicals and environment production processes making them the most durable, permanent label identification in the entire Brady portfolio.

Key performance attributes:
![Abrasion Resistance](/-/media/brady-americas-images/smartsite-images/resource-center/article-images/material-spotlight/abrasion-resistance-icon-125.png)
Abrasion resistance
Tested using Taber Abraser equipment with CS-10 grinding wheels and weighted arms. No effect to label or printed image after 100 cycles.
![High heat resistance](/-/media/brady-americas-images/smartsite-images/resource-center/article-images/material-spotlight/high-heat-icon-125.png)
High heat resistance
Resistance to 266°F (130°C). Labels were subjected to a range of temperatures for 1,000 hours with only a very slight discoloration of the label and no visible effect to the printed image, while label remains functional.
![Low temperature resistance](/-/media/brady-americas-images/smartsite-images/resource-center/article-images/material-spotlight/low-temperature-resistance-icon-125.png)
Low temperature resistance
Labels subjected to -94°F (-70°C) for 1,000 hours with no visible effect, while label remains functional.
![Adhesion](/-/media/brady-americas-images/smartsite-images/resource-center/article-images/material-spotlight/adhesion-icon-125.png)
Adhesion capabilities
Adheres to stainless steel and epoxy PC board.
