Chemical resistant labels are a common practice in durable goods manufacturing. With the advancement in technology, the manufacturing of industrial and durable goods has also had an impact on the production and use of labels in this industry. As the number of products increase exponentially on a daily basis, chemical resistant labels required for such applications need to meet increasing demands and serve their purpose without fail. This has resulted in increased production and demand for labels that resist solvents like acetone and xylene.
Why You Need to Consider Environmental Factors Before Purchase?
Depending on the nature of your industrial products and the durability required, you need to consider the environmental factors which your chemical resistant labels will be exposed to. This will help you to identify the types of industrial labels you need to purchase to ensure a good return on investment and assurance of quality on your products. Depending on the environmental factors, you can choose from the following options to purchase durable labels:
- Oil-resistant adhesives
- Durable varnishes and laminations
- UV laminations for outdoor applications
- Durable polyesters for high-temperature applications
Application Industries
The chemical resistant labels are used in a wide area of applications which include but are not limited to the following industries:
- Drum labels
- Household chemical labels
- Automotive labels
- Durable goods
- Warning labels
What are Industrial Labels?
We construct industrial polyester labels by printing on a variety of high temperature polyesters, acrylates and vinyl. In some cases, we laminate the labels if the UV print requires added protection. This results in an extremely durable label, that provides excellent chemical resistance . All Industrial labels are supplied with an aggressive adhesive that was specifically formulated to provide superior bonding to powder-coat paint, low surface energy plastics and other hard-to-stick surfaces.
