Non Toxic Tape

Brother had its tapes tested by an official Japanese government food research laboratory and met the food sanitation law of Japan as safe for use near food.

The laminated tapes also passed skin irritation tests.

Fading Resistance

In tests performed to simulate a year of outdoor conditions (with tapes subjected to heat, light and water) ink remained unchanged and all characters were completely legible, with only yellow tape showing some fading. Reduced the need to reproduce labels and convenient for environments where legibility over time is important.

Tapes were tested with a weighted (1kg) sane eraser device. After 50 “return” passes, Brother’s tapes’ lamination was only slightly scratched. The characters underneath were completely unaffected.

Brother’s P-touch tapes retain their integrity even at extremely high temperatures. In tests performed, decomposition of the tapes did not begin until the temperature reached 365 degrees Celsius. In refrigeration environments -during adhesion tests, even at -50 degrees Celsius, there were no adhesive strength problems, ink or tape changes.

Dielectric Strength

In tests performed by Brother white P-touch tapes with Black characters began to lose their electric resistance at 8kv and lost their resistance entirely at 11kv.
