Dow launches INVISU™ WB Acrylic Adhesive portfolio for pressure-sensitive paper and film label applications in North America. The new adhesive technologies streamline label stock manufacturers’, converters’ and brand owners’ abilities to address new and changing industry demands.
Enhancing Adhesive Label Performance
The INVISU™ Acrylic Adhesives are designed to expand label performance:
INVISU™ 3400 Acrylic Adhesive provides efficient production and consistent adhesion to various e-commerce packaging surfaces. The ready-to-coat, water-based adhesives combine high productivity with low conversion energy and offer high solid contents, adaptable viscosity profile, and excellent adhesion and cohesion at low temperatures.
INVISU™ 4200 Acrylic Adhesive helps brands create clear-on-clear labels for beverage, food, health and beauty, and other applications. The clear-film label adhesive offers excellent adhesion to low surface energy substrates and remarkable water whitening resistance.
Maximizing Label and Packaging Cost Efficiencies
“As a full-service supplier of both acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, Dow is uniquely positioned to help our customers maximize label and packaging cost efficiencies,” said Mike White, senior marketing manager for adhesives for Dow’s packaging & specialty plastics (P&SP) business.
In addition to introducing the INVISU™ Acrylic Adhesive portfolio, Dow’s commitment to label innovation includes participating in key industry associations such as PSTC and TLMI, as well as collaborating with the value chain at Dow’s Pack Studios innovation centers to advance label technologies.
“Our investment in the label industry helped us identify key market needs to focus on, from the rigors of e-commerce shipping to the minimalist, no-label look that many brands want,” said David Keely, field technical service manager for adhesives, Dow P&SP. “The INVISU™ Acrylic Adhesives portfolio immediately addresses those demands, providing label production efficiency and adhesion to keep up with e-commerce growth, and clear-film adhesion for clear-on-clear labels,” added Keely.
To build on innovations, Dow will continue to develop and test new INVISU™ Acrylic Adhesive grades to address additional industry needs, working with its customers to focus on designing for enhanced recyclability across all packaging components, including labels.
