Whatever label you use, consider curing them at 90 deg. C for 1 hour. That helps even common paper labels to be able to withstand wash processes, etc, a little better.

Subject: [TN] Labels that withstand Wavesolder with alcohol based flux

Hi All,

 

I know I have had PCB label issues not standing-up to alcohol based flux and wave solder in the past and have found some that worked...but because I'm so absent minded,  I forgot which ones they were.

 

The labels that we are using now are thermal transfer ink printed, they SAY that they can withstand wave soldering processes, but the adhesive is acrylic and the alcohol in the flux attacks the adhesive, and the labels wash off in our DI cleaner.

 

Anyone got a good recommendation for label stock?

 

Steve
