MIL-STD 202G, Notice 12, Method 215K
Polyimide labels (kapton label) materials with specific chemical resistance for military electronics
MIL-STD 202G, Notice 12, Method 215K prescribes a chemical wash testing procedure for electronics components, both by soaking, and by rubbing with a toothbrush to test abrasion resistance. Originally four solvents were employed. The global ban on TCE (1,1,1 Trichloroethane), necessitated its removal from the procedure, so now only three chemicals are used:
- Solvent A 1 part IPA (iso-propyl alcohol), and 3 parts Mineral Spirits;
- Solvent B TCE Discontinued per Notice 12
- Solvent C Terpene Defluxer
- Solvent D Saponifier

The table below lists the Polyonics THERMOGARD™ polyimide label products which pass this MIL-STD. In all cases, Dai Nippon R510 ribbon was used. Other ribbons did not perform as well.
