Resistance to abrasion
ǠKIMW 003, Part 1 In-house standard of the Lüdenscheid Plastics Institute
Labelings and printings must be resistant
to externally applied surface loads.
Therefore at Phoenix Contact, labelings
and printings are subjected to various
numbers of strokes (1000, 10,000, 30,000)
using a felt disk (hardness H1 as per
DIN 61200) with a specific pressure force

various load classes presented in the standard (30,000 strokes with 4 N pressure force).
depends on the pressure force that leads to
damage to the printing with reference to the
number of strokes.
Abrasion and wipe resistance

Labelings and printings must be resistant to Phoenix Contact marking materials fulfill
the standard cleaning agents used in the
industry. Therefore at Phoenix Contact,
the stringent requirements as regards

a soft cloth with water, isopropyl alcohol,
petroleum ether and n-hexane. The
labelings and printings must still be legible
after the test.
Vibration test
ǠDIN EN 61373 – Broadband noise (intensity as per DIN EN 50155)
In many applications and especially in
traffic engineering, labeling materials are
subjected to vibrations and shocks. For a
practical simulation of the vibration stress,
the test objects are tested for vibration
resistance at increasing and decreasing
frequencies and amplitudes. In accordance
with DIN EN 61373, the objects run through such a way that would impair their
a frequency range of 5 Hz to 150 Hz during
the test. The true r.m.s. value of the
continued use.
All Phoenix Contact marking materials
fulfill these stringent vibration
requirements.
acceleration is up to 42.5 m/sꢀ. The test
objects are tested for five hours on each of
the three axes (x, y, z). The components and
marking materials must not be damaged in
ǠIEC 60068-2-6 – Vibration resistance
This test demonstrates the vibration
resistance and the secure seating of the
marking materials under the influence of
continuous vibrations. Harmonic,
marking materials must not be damaged in
such a way that would impair their continued
use. All marking materials fulfill the
requirements of the standard. They are
sinusoidal vibrations are applied to the test therefore particularly suited to demanding
object to simulate rotating, pulsating or
oscillating forces. The test is performed on
each of the three spatial axes (x, y, z). In
the test, the object runs through a
frequency range of 5 Hz to 150 Hz at a
speed of one octave per minute.The true
r.m.s. value of the acceleration is up to
50 m/s2. The test objects are tested in the
three axes for two hours each. The
applications in which a reliable functioning of
the marking materials has to be ensured, even
when subjected to vibrations.
Phoenix Contact marking materials fulfill
these stringent vibration requirements.
