Brady Worldwide, Inc. Floor Marking Tape, 3 X 8, White; Tape Type Brady 170121

Brady B-543 Floor Marking Tape is an extruded polyvinyl chloride tape designed for industrial floor marking applications. It is suitable for marking aisles, passageways, and storage locations, as well as indicating safety equipment and exits in high-traffic environments. The tape features an acrylic adhesive and is available in solid colors including white, red, green, blue, yellow, and orange, with a thickness of 0.050 inches (1.27 mm). The tape exhibits strong adhesion properties, with an average adhesion to stainless steel of 150 oz/in (16.3 N/10 mm) after a 15-minute dwell time. It demonstrates good abrasion resistance, withstanding up to 3500 cycles under specific testing conditions. The minimum application temperature is 50¬8F (10¬8C), and it can operate within a service temperature range of 0¬8F to 140¬8F (-18¬8C to 60¬8C). However, it is not recommended for outdoor use. Chemical resistance testing indicates that the tape has varying effects when exposed to different substances, with some chemicals causing failure in adhesion or film integrity. The product has a shelf life of two years when stored properly. This information is crucial for engineers considering the tape for specific applications, as it highlights both its durability and limitations.
