Avery Dennison Roll Materials Europe has developed a self-adhesive label laminate in its Fasson Specialty portfolio - Fasson BT25 with S2800 permanent adhesive.
Trying To Ease Roll Label Materials Selection
Given the wide choice of desktop printers available for self-adhesive roll-label applications, the materials selection process has become an increasingly complex task.
With the needs of the food packaging industry in mind, Fasson S2065 is offered as standard with two Fasson facestocks - a standard machine coated paper, Fasson MC Primecoat, where multi-colour label print is required and Fasson Thermal Top K8P, which is oil, moisture, alcohol, and plasticiser resistant, for straightforward direct thermal variable information labels.
Fasson S2065 complies with BfR XXI and FDA 175.105 food contact requirements in relation to dry and moist non-fatty foods.
With a service temperature of -40 degrees C to 50 degrees C, the adhesive is suitable for use on frozen foods, as well as a variety of retail food trays and other prepacks, said Avery Dennison.
With S2065, labels on the facestocks can be dispensed at speeds of up to 150 labels per minute in air-blown label application systems.
Fasson Thermal Top K8P S2065 and Fasson Primecoat S2065, both supplied as standard with a brown glassine release liner, are said to provide label converters good on-press characteristics.
Fasson Thermal Top K8P S2065 is available via the Fasson Exact service platform, which offers converters the cost-effective benefit of ordering only the exact reel widths they require, claimed the company.
Avery Dennison's product manager, Gwenaelle Legarrec, said: "With Fasson S2065, we have deliberately aimed high in terms of end-use performance, whilst positioning the product in price terms so that it offers real added value for the label printer without a price premium over other Fasson speciality adhesives.
We are confident that Fasson S2065 will become the benchmark adhesive for this market segment.".
