• Virtueholder VHL-E50C is a polyester film with a permanent pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive and a high opacity, gloss white finish specifically designed for thermal transfer printing. VHL-E50C is deemed to be a STATIC SAFE product in accordance with EIA 625, EIA 541. The Test Methods employed were in accordance with EOS/ESD S11.11.
• Virtueholder VHL-E50C is designed for barcode or alphanumeric identification of printed circuit boards, or related electronic components. It is the ideal label to withstand many surface mount board processes, but is not well suited for temperatures above 400˚F (204ºC).

• The VHL-E50C topcoat, in combination with the appropriate thermal transfer ribbon, passes the requirements of MIL-STD-202G, Notice 12, Method 215K. Designed for cool side of the board, the print resists smearing, even when the board and label are directly removed from a reflow or wave solder environment. Preheating the labeled product can further enhance print permanence in the case of extreme solvent and/or abrasion exposure, although this is not typically required for board processing applications. Moreover, when the label is peeled from its release liner, less than 25 volts per square inch of electrostatic charge is generated, making it safe to use in a static free work environment, per EIA 625 and 541.
