FLEXcon, an innovator in adhesive coating
and laminating, today announced the addition of products for prime labeling
applications using the company’s new, higher-shear, permanent acrylic adhesive.
Available as part of the optiFLEX, optiFLEX
EZ, optiFLEX CONCEAL, optiFLEX CONFORMmax, THINflex and DigiPRO PRIME product
lines in addition to the original sureFLEX line, FLEXcon’s new generation V-01
adhesive offers problem-free performance by running without buildup on
converting or dispensing equipment. It provides excellent adhesion to a variety
of container types, including low-surface energy HDPE. It also offers open time
for clean removability of misapplied labels, allowing the container to be salvaged
and re-labeled. V-01 resists moisture
and exposure to product contents and passes soapy squeeze testing, making it
ideal for the health and beauty, food and beverage and household chemical
markets. It is compliant with FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to listen
to our customers needs and then develop products that will not only help them
capture new business but also reduce cost and to run efficiently,” said John
Bennett, Vice President, FLEXcon. “V-01 is our answer to the many challenges
our customers face in supplying the consumer packaging market with competitive
pricing and superior performance both on the press and in the end use.”
Ensure
Excellent Performance
V-01 adheres well to a wide range of
container types, including low-surface energy HDPE. The V-01 adhesive provides
excellent resistance to water, humidity and product contents, preventing edge
lift and water whitening of the label.
Reduce
Down Time Due to Adhesive Buildup
Adhesive buildup on equipment is commonly
caused by the adhesive oozing out of the edges of the material during
production. This can slow or even halt production, resulting in downtime due to
waste clean-up. Label substrates with V-01 adhesive are much less susceptible
to ooze which means that your presses can keep running. But don’t take our word
for it. Trial V-01 now!
Improve
Production Speeds
No adhesive ooze means no clean-up. So in
addition to reducing down time, substrates with V-01 can also increase
production speeds, giving you a 1-2 punch for your bottom line.
Reduce
Waste
V-01 provides open time for clean
removability of misapplied labels. This feature results in less waste since the
container can be salvaged and re-labeled.
Stay
Competitive
Improving efficiencies and minimizing waste
allow you to offer your customers high quality and great performance at a
reasonable cost - which ensures that you stay competitive. Trust FLEXcon
products with V-01 adhesive to keep your presses up and running.
FLEXcon’s V-01 adhesive is available on a
wide range of films for use on a variety of container types including rigid,
semi-squeeze and full-squeeze containers. In addition, products are available
for a variety of print technologies, including HP Indigo, UV, solvent, emulsion
and hot stamp, to name a few. Label substrates with V-01 are readily available,
many in Quick-Ship and/or pre-slit inventory for fast delivery.
