Labels Manufactured to Resist to Moisture, Solvents and a variety of Household Cleaners
Our Chemical Resistant Labels vary in material and it is important to have as much detail as possible about your application s to ensure you are using a label that will survive the life cycle of your project. Chemical type, length of exposure to solvents and the temperature profile all play important roles in finding a material that suits your demands.
While chemical resistance is key, you must also make certain the label will resist abrasion and tearing. ImageTek Labels has the capability to customize your label with various barcode symbologies, alphanumeric or sequential numbering, custom color logo’s or personalized format.
Adhesive is a key player in Chemical Resistant Applications
Most often materials are tested in extreme chemical applications but failure normally results in the adhesive. ImageTek Labels offers various adhesives, all of which perform differently under extreme conditions. We urge our customers to test our labels, real time, for resistance to their specific conditions and environments where the label will be used.
Chemicals can cause a range of reactions within the solvents used to manufacture adhesives. These reactions can cause breakdown or failure if not tested thoroughly. Our staff is more than happy to review your project in details and offer solutions based on the information you provide that will ensure you’re testing the right material the first time and securing the success of the project in the future.
