Pressure sensitive adhesives and UV coatings for the label industry
Henkel will be presenting innovative pressure-sensitive adhesives, UV coatings and lacquers at the international trade fair Labelexpo Europe 2011 in Brussels from September 28 to October 1, 2011. A wide product range including “no label look” and squeezable labels as well as delivery note pockets and low temperature applications, offers diverse solutions that fit any individual need. These will be presented by Henkel’s commercial and technical team. For the label industry, Henkel will be showcasing the latest innovative adhesive solutions for general, removable and alkali wash off labels. Also part of Henkel’s portfolio at the Labelexpo Europe are UV coatings and lacquers, including the radiant metallic gloss MiraFoil, which gives surfaces a brilliant finish.
As technologies for the label market are constantly evolving, Henkel offers a wide range of innovative, cost-effective pressure-sensitive adhesive solutions for label applications. In the rapidly changing label market, many converters not only print labels, but offer label and packing solutions too. Henkel has therefore developed a broad range of products: adhesives for permanent, repositionable and direct food contact applications, as well as high-tack adhesives suitable for a variety of difficult surfaces.
Strength and durability for general purpose applications with Duro-TAK
Duro-TAK adhesives are noted for their strength and durability under adverse conditions, and are able to withstand rough weather conditions and chemical exposure. The adhesive Duro-TAK UV 4000 is well balanced in adhesion and cohesion and stands out due to its suitability for nonpolar substrates. Duro-TAK UV 4000 has a relatively low viscosity and can be easily processed. Moreover, another benefit of this innovative adhesive is its high heat and environmental resistance.
