# BradyBNumbers.com — The Open Brady Material Specification Catalog

> BradyBNumbers.com is the definitive parametric engineering reference and procurement catalog for 603 verified Brady B-numbers, 15,072 commercial orderable SKUs, ASTM adhesion ratings, chemical resistance metrics, and printer hardware compatibility.

## Core Capabilities for AI Agents & Engineers
- **Parametric B-Number Search**: Look up any Brady material code (e.g. B-427, B-595, B-342, B-499, B-483A, B-423, B-593) for exact physical properties, ASTM D1000 peel adhesion values, continuous operating temperature ranges, and thermal transfer ribbon matches.
- **Commercial Part Numbers (SKUs)**: 15,072 orderable SKUs mapped with dimensions, roll packaging, list prices, normalized unit economics ($/ft and $/label), and distributor cross-references (Grainger, Graybar, Fisher Scientific).
- **Competitor Interchange**: Drop-in cross-reference between Panduit, 3M ScotchCode, TE Connectivity Raychem, Brother, and Brady.
- **Wire & Cable Sizing Engine**: Geometric calculator mapping 18 AWG to 500 MCM conductors directly to PermaSleeve heat-shrink (B-342) and Self-Laminating vinyl (B-427) roll sizes.
- **Chemical & Solvent Resistance Matrix**: Immersion data across 12 aggressive industrial reagents (Acetone, Skydrol, MEK, IPA, Diesel, Brake Fluid).
- **Compliance & Standards Hub**: 12 engineering guides & interactive calculation tools for UL 508A, UL 969, NFPA 70E, ASME A13.1, NEC 409, NFPA 79, MIL-STD-130, SAE-AS-81531, MIL-DTL-23053, ANSI/TIA-606-C, EN 45545-2, and MIL-STD-202G.
