Material is RoHS compliant (European Union directive
2002/95/EC). GMNT is a crosslinked, thermal transfer printable
polyolefin. When printed using RMR*BL, RMER4BL-A, and
RMH*BL thermal transfer ribbons it will also meet MIL-M81531. This product has been tested for use as an identification
marker for use in (Class 1E) harsh environments in various high
temperature power plants.

*The chemical analysis method SM4110B (De-ionized Water Soluble Method) was performed to identify concentration of halogen
ions in this material that could potentially leach onto materials such as stainless steel and promote corrosion, This chemical analysis
does not identify the concentration of toxic gaseous effluents released by burning this material.
