Materials: Adhesive Materials

Permanent adhesive is a versatile, general purpose adhesive designed for excellent adhesion to corrugated materials and good adhesion to plastics. Excellent initial tack, emulsion acrylic adhesive. Minimum application temperature is +25 degrees Fahrenheit; service range temperature is -65 degrees to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.

All Temperature adhesive is also an emulsion acrylic adhesive that provides wide range temperature performance and excellent cold temperature performance without sacrificing tight die cutting and stripping properties. Meets FDA requirements for indirect food contact. Minimum application temperature is -20 degrees Fahrenheit; service range temperature is -65 degrees to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Removable adhesive is available on EDP face material, only. Removable adhesive will detach from the back of the label in one piece leaving little or no adhesive residue. Usually a removable adhesive is recommended when a label has a short-term life or is applied to a surface that could be damaged by the adhesive. Our adhesive has a high initial tack and removes cleanly from most surfaces. It is FDA compliant for indirect food contact.
