Specialty Labels

The specialty labels area covers a wide range of applications with many technical challenges to face. Technical requirements may include high heat resistance or low temperature performances, chemical resistance, UV resistance, clarity and many others. The PSA formulation must be optimized for each application and water-borne PSA as well as solvent based products are commonly used.

Key technical requirements in the specialty labels are:

In general specialty labels have various key properties to achieve depending on the specific application. For low temperature performance choosing the right tackifier is critical.

The correct tackifier resin is critical to provide the right temperature performance for you label. The right choice of tackifer resin will improve your performance.
