Scratch resistance
ǠDIN EN ISO 1518
Labelings and printings must also be
resistant to external, point and/or linear
mechanical loads. For this reason, Phoenix
Contact tests all labelings and printings for
scratch resistance in accordance with the
aforementioned standard. Here a
scratching tool with a hemispherical tip
(ø 1 mm) is applied to the test object with
2 - 6 N, depending on the printing
procedure. A visual and microscopic
inspection of the test objects is then
performed.
Phoenix Contact marking
materials fulfill these demanding
mechanical requirements.
Grid test
ǠDIN EN ISO 2409
Pull-out direction
A "Sellotape test" is conducted in
accordance with this standard. A
Printing
transparent self-adhesive tape (e.g.
Sellotape) with an adhesive force of 10 1 N
is applied to the labeling or printing to be
tested and is then removed from the
surface with an angle of 60° to the pull-out
direction with a speed of approx. 1 cm/s.

Adhesive tape
There should be no marks from the
printing on the adhesive tape after the test.
Phoenix Contact marking materials are
tough and resistant to peeling.
Synthetic material
Adhesive strength test
Ǡbased on FINAT test method No. 2
v=300 mm/min
The purpose of this test is to compare the
adhesive strength of labels on various basic
materials. To this end, a strip of labels
(25 mm x 175 mm) is applied to the
respective basic material with a specified
force. After a defined storage period, the
strip is removed from the basic material at
an angle of 90° and with a speed of
300 mm/min. The adhesive strength is
specified in N/25 mm. The test thus enables
the selection of the most suitable label for
the application.
