Label converters, printers and brand owners know that reducing environmental impact and improving end-user safety without sacrificing quality are high-priority goals when manufacturing durable labels across markets, such as electronics, appliances and automotive. As the demand grows for secure labels that withstand exposure to harsh conditions, you’ll want to make sure your label adhesives are up to par. In particular, they should:
· Increase sustainability by lowering energy usage, water consumption and environmental impact
· Enhance worker and end-user safety by eliminating harmful chemicals
· Improve performance by withstanding harsh environmental conditions and bonding to difficult substrates, including low surface energy materials
· Streamline productivity by enhancing workability and reducing downtime
Hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesives for durable labels
The right durable label adhesives can help you achieve all these goals. When compared to solvent-based pressure sensitive adhesives (SBPSA), our hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives (HMPSA):
Reduce waste and enhance worker and end-user safety due to solvent-free composition and lowered energy consumption and CO2 emissions
Improve label durability and stability with resistance to moisture, chemicals UV light and high temperature variations
Increase bonding reliability and versatility due to compatibility with LSE materials like steel, glass, polycarbonate, nylon and ABS plastic
Boost productivity and lower cost-in use with fast coating speeds
