- Typical Applications
This high performance, pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive is designed for hard to bond substrates and demanding labelling applications, such as cold or wet containers and very fast lines. It has been developed for labelling of plastic, glass, or steel containers. Especially suitable for labelling of PET bottles with strong carbonated beverage.
- Suitable Substrates
Labelling of plastic containers (PVC, PE, PET, PP), glass or steel with PP/PE labels and high-quality paper labels.
- Application Instructions
Apply by nozzle, roller, and other systems of application. Application temperature: 130°C – 160°C In case of temperature sensitive and thin plastic labels, the working temperature should be between 130°C and 140°C to avoid shrinkage. It runs well with magazine and roll-fed label stocks and shows excellent performance on high-speed lines. Suitable on common equipment such as: Krones, KHS, SACMI, PE Labellers, Langguth, SIDEL-Alfa, B&H, Trine, and other labelling machines. It is important to ensure that the desired level of adhesion is obtained on all used substrates, including long-term tests.
