Label Adhesives

Pressure-sensitive adhesive works not only due to its initial tack, but also its slight absorption into the surface of the label substrate. Because the specific characteristics of different substrates can prevent the absorption of adhesive and therefore weaken its adhesion, it is important to consider the substrate material and texture, its shape and its temperature at application.

Rubber-Based

Rubber-based adhesives typically are more economical than others, but lack extreme cold-temperature-resistant qualities.gorilla-grow-label2

  • 155 Performance Permanent – Permanent, rubber-based adhesive used on corrugated, metal, glass, plastic, wood, and many other surfaces. Excellent on polyethylene films. The ultimate in quick-stick properties.
  • 175 Economy Permanent – Permanent, rubber-based adhesive ideal for corrugated and other packaging applications.
  • 355 Cold Temperature Permanent – Permanent rubber-based adhesive that adheres strongly to steel, fiber, and plastic drums. Ideal for chemical drum applications.
  • 375 Broad Temperature Permanent – Permanent, rubber-based adhesive with a wide temperature range.
  • 655 Specialty Permanent – Features a high degree of initial tack and ultimate removability from painted steel or high and low surface energy plastics.

Acrylic-Based

Acrylic-based adhesives have a lower degree of initial tack than their rubber-based counterparts; however, after 24 hours they generally are as permanent as rubber-based. In addition, acrylics resist both low and high temperatures.strawberry-fields-container
