Brady’s B-7511 and B-7518 are sensing labels designed for temperature monitoring. With visual color-change indication, they record or show in real time whether an object has been exposed to a specific temperature.
These labels are widely used for electronic components, battery modules, cold-chain logistics, industrial processes, and warranty management.
| Application | B-7511 (Irreversible) | B-7518 (Reversible) |
|---|---|---|
| Electronics & battery modules | Records whether a high temperature was reached to help prevent thermal runaway | Monitors temperature changes in real time to help prevent overheating |
| Process quality control | Confirms whether a process hit target or overheated | Visualizes temperature status in real time for operator judgment |
| Cold-chain logistics & storage | Tracks whether goods were exposed to high temperature | Continuously monitors hot/cold status to protect sensitive materials |
| Warranty & maintenance | Serves as permanent evidence of heat exposure | Provides a real-time temperature reference to assess usage conditions |
| Item | B-7511 (Irreversible) | B-7518 (Reversible) |
|---|---|---|
| Sensing mechanism | Permanent color change; records peak temperature | Reversible color change; shows temperature status in real time |
| Temperature range | 37°C–143°C | 0°C–100°C |
| Accuracy | ±1°C / ±1.5°C | ±1°C |
| Material thickness | Approx. 0.175 mm | Approx. 0.22 mm (dome type up to 2 mm) |
| Adhesion | High adhesion on many surfaces | Also offers high adhesion |
| Compliance | RoHS | RoHS, REACH |
Brady B-350 is a polyester technical label with a visual “turns red on water contact” warning. Built for warranty control, anti-counterfeit identification, and electronics safety design, its stable color-change mechanism gives an immediate visual alert when devices or sealed items take on water—supporting repair judgment and asset protection.
Primary uses:
1. Humidity-sensing module safety monitoring
Install B-350 on module housings or waterproof covers for a power-free warning mechanism.
Paired with electronic humidity sensors, it forms visual + digital dual-layer protection.
2. Industrial equipment diagnostic support
Apply B-350 to control boxes, sensors, or waterproof connectors to flag water-ingress risk immediately.
High heat resistance suits heavy-duty industrial processes.
