expressMARK ETC Product Test Results

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION: Continuous strip, low fire hazard, UV stabilised, cross linked polyolefin sheet, formed into punched tie on cable markers. Markers have perforated edges for easy removal.
USE: Identification of larger cables and wire bundles. Markers are printed by computer-based printing and attached using cable ties. Ideal for applications where low fire hazard characteristics (low smoke, low toxicity and low flammability) are critical.
PRINT METHOD / RIBBON: Thermal transfer: T312M-PRINTER, 1966-RIBBON T212M-PRINTER, T200-RIBBON-1966
SERVICE TEMPERATURE: -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F).
COLOURS: White or yellow as standard.
OXYGEN INDEX: 34% minimum (BS EN ISO 4589-2 [1996]).
SMOKE EMMISSION: 0.017 maximum (BS 6853 [1999] Annex D.8.3).
TOXIC FUME: R < 1 (BS 6853[1999] Annex D.8.3 – Mass based test method - NF X 70-100)
LUL TOXIC FUME: No Halogens, no P, S, or N sources above trace level (LUL E1042:A2 [1996]).
TENSILE STRENGTH: 7MPa minimum.
MOULD GROWTH: Rating 2 maximum (BS 2011 Part 2.1J).
COLOUR FASTNESS: Hue matches original marker; print legible (BS 2782 Part 5 Method 540B).
