TLH 2970E

LABELS - Hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive for clear filmic label applications

Uses


TLH 2970E is a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive for clear filmic label applications.

Used in combination with filmic material like PET, OPP or PE films or laminates design for clear labels.

CAUTIONS: For OPP or PE film construction, wettability needs to be checked: film surface tension must be > 42mJ/m² before adhesive application. 

Benefits

  • Complete transparency after 24hrs on glass bottles with PET release liner constructions
  • Pass sterilisation test at 120°C for 30min
