108->Adhesive labels for frozen surfaces and extreme humidity
We have always made efforts to widen the bandwidth of product properties. For the identification with self-adhesive labels this means to be able to ensure a good bond in different climatic conditions and to achieve good adhesion to a wide range of surfaces. Moisture, dust and oil represent barriers for adhesives – they prevent the adhesive from developing a permanent bond with the actual medium. The new PK-80-651 and PK-50-701 GRAPHIPLAST® adhesives combine many of these properties in one product and help to create adhesive labels for a wide range of applications. They can be used, e.g. for sticking to surfaces affected by moisture and hoar frost.
Application: Adhesion in freezing and high moisture conditions
Your benefit: Secure identification with universal adhesives

107-> User-friendly container identification
Pallet cages or similar deposits are among the most widely used types of containers at automotive suppliers. Residue from previous labels, dust and peeling paint make labeling in accordance with norms a real challenge. In cooperation with a manufacturer of acoustic and heat protection systems, we have developed a new solution based on GRAPHIPLAST® 7177. The weather resistant label iseasy to remove, i.e.duplicate labels are eliminated. Functionality and handling is improved considerably. For the recipients of the goods, the new label means more reliability in data availability and therefore the option to use automatic data capture.
Application: functional solution for container identification
Benefit: An all-round talent for material flow control

106-> Partial application of adhesive offers more options
The identification of stacked sheet metal or sheet metal coils with sensitive surfaces requires labels with a firm bond. These labels enable good fixing to the strap. It is important that the part of the label that sticks over the edge of the strap is free from glue, to avoid any transfer of adhesive onto the surface. Partial application of adhesive is an established technology, which, until now, could only be used in a limited way for high-strength, permanent adhesives. Our PK-80-601 adhesive has both extremely high bond strength and it can be applied partially. An ideal solution for applications where the glue has to be applied precisely to a specific, small area and where high adhesive strength has to be combined with adhesive application in selected areas.
Application: Strap identification without wallet, adh. AIAG tags
Benefit: An all-round talent for material flow control

105-> Better bond for self-adhesive labels with roller
Attaching an adhesive label is an important process, the main factor for bonding strength. Even application and contact pressure determine the adhesive strength that is actually achieved. To achieve a permanent bond, the use of a simple roller, similar to the ones used for wallpapering, is recommended. This simple device also prevents the contamination of labels, for instance by dirty gloves. You can find this solution in any DIY store or request rollers from us. Because sticking to difficult products requires great care.
Application: Optimum adhesion for self-adhesive labels
Benefit: Good adhesion on difficult surfaces!

104-> The Combi Label/Tag - A New Option
The combination of robust plastic films and adhesives with a strong glue offers benefits, e.g. in steel service centers, as it allows to attach the label/tag sticking and hanging. Up to now, the use of thick adhesive layers to achieve adequate adhesion to various steel surfaces had been its limitation, due to the residue these left in the printing systems. The combination of #7177 in 150 µ with PK-80-601 adhesive creates a combination label that achieves top performance in both applications tag or self-adhesive label. At the same time, adhesive breakout inside the printer is reduced to a minimum, due to the adhesive’s compact nature. In the true sense of the word - a neat solution.
Applications: Tag or self-adh. label - optimum results for both.
Benefit: No residue in thermal transfer printers.

103-> Adhesive Labels for 450° C (850F)
The general shortage of raw materials has led to an increase in exports of semi-finished goods. In the metal industry, the identification of billets is usually carried out by marking the piece number with a stamp or via color coding (tube markers). However, this is not sufficient for the consignees’ identification requirements, as the information is poorly legible due to soiling and the impact of weather. Customers are looking for information that is easy to read for example #7940 labels - suitable for temperatures up to 350° C. The strong aluminium foil can be easily applied with gloves. Special rollers enable the attaching of the label without smearing the surface and/or the barcode. The special adhesive guarantees a secure adhesion to scaly and rough surfaces. A proven solution that works.
Application: Attaching labels to hot billets
Benefit: Low-price and effective fastening

102-> New solution for AIAG ID GRAPHIPLAST® 7527
How goods for inventory will be received in the future can be observed already at some automotive manufacturers in Europe and the US. Unloading containers from pallets by robots followed by checking of shape and identification with data plausibility checks. With this method of receiving inventory, conventional paper labels cause problems. Especially if corners stick out or residue of old labels cannot be removed. Our new development, GRAPHIPLAST® 7527 will solve this problem. The unique adhesive and the special layout of the AIAG form create flexibility for different types of containers. Secure labeling and simple removal without residue guarantee satisfied customers.
Application: An all-round solution for container identification.
Benefit: Satisfied customers with an economical solution

101-> Adhesive solution for rough surfaces
Heat, cold, scale, saw residue and saw emulsion are just some of the challenges requiring thick layers of ultrastrong adhesive. The new PA-80-601 adhesive can be applied as an adhesive field in selected areas of the label/tag, enabling a much higher quantity of adhesive to be applied. No more additional glue has to be applied by hand from a bucket.
Application: Sticking of labels on very difficult surfaces
Benefit: Savings. It can also be used as both a label and a hangtag with attachment hole where needed.
