Advantage |
|
Each destructible label the fibers display is unique and impossible to copy |
|
Aggressive acrylic adhesive provides high bond and excellent destructibility on most substrates, including metals, powder coated surfaces, and plastics, including many low surface energy materials |
|
|
|
Low shrinkage vinyl produces dimensionally stable labels without adhesive ooze or dirty edges |
|
|
|
Consistent, smooth film provides excellent press processing and printability |
|
Release liner glassine paper and kraft paper both are available |
|
|
Application |
Assume all surfaces are without contaminated – metals may be oily or dusty, plastic may be coated with mold release agents, dirt, etc. Any surface contaminant will adversely affect adhesion and the ability to destruct; therefore, contaminants must be removed prior to application by wiping with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol.
Application temperature, pressure, and dwell time are all important variables to produce adequate adhesion and assure the label fractures when removal or tampering is attempted. For best results, the label should be applied when all materials are over 10°C. Higher initial bonds can be achieved through increased application pressure (firm hand or squeegee pressure should be sufficient). The bong will increase in time, depending on the substrate. Metals and high surface energy materials will develops bonds faster than low surface energy materials. For best results, wait 24 hours (at room temperature) before subjecting to harsh environments.
