When choosing an adhesive for labels, a proper selection should be made according to the different properties of the labels. For example, if the label paper is relatively thin, then a label paper with stronger adhesiveness should be chosen. It is necessary to consider different types, specific customer customization, and the customer’s economic budget. If the customer requires high-grade label products, then products of this type can be used.
Acrylate Adhesive
- Characteristics: It has good adhesiveness and can adhere well to a variety of materials including paper, plastic, metal, etc. It has strong weather resistance and can maintain stable adhesiveness under different environmental conditions. It has good chemical corrosion resistance and is not easily affected by common chemicals. It has relatively good environmental protection performance, with a low odor, and meets relevant environmental protection standards. This adhesive is relatively resistant to impact and belongs to the type with high bonding strength.
- Application scenarios: It is widely used in various types of labels, especially performing excellently in outdoor labels, industrial product labels, and electronic device labels. For example, automotive parts labels, outdoor advertising labels, and electronic product housing labels, etc. The application scenarios of this kind of label are very wide and can be applied in various industries. For instance, automotive parts labels are exposed to the sun all year round, so acrylate adhesive should be used for the labels applied to them. Also, in outdoor industries, such as labels for camping equipment, outdoor advertisements, outdoor posters, etc., this adhesive can be used. If you want to cooperate with Chinese suppliers, you can choose to cooperate with Huaxinmei Label Company in China.
Rubber-based Adhesive - Characteristics: It has good initial adhesiveness and can quickly adhere to the surface of the object. It has excellent flexibility and can adapt to the unevenness and deformation of the surface of the object to be pasted. It has good adhesion to some low surface energy materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene. It has certain water resistance and low-temperature resistance.
- Application scenarios: It is often used for plastic film labels, packaging labels, etc. For example, removable labels on food packaging, labels on plastic bottles, etc., are more commonly used in scenarios where a certain degree of flexibility and removability are required.
- In the packaging industry: It is often used for plastic film labels, carton sealing, and plastic bottle labeling, etc. For example, plastic labels on beverage bottles, removable labels on food packaging, etc. Utilizing its flexibility and adhesiveness, it can fit well on the surfaces of packages with different shapes, and can be relatively easily removed without leaving too much glue residue when needed.
- In the automotive industry: It can be used for the bonding of automotive interior parts, such as the assembly of components like the dashboard, seats, and door interiors. Its good flexibility can adapt to the vibrations and deformations generated during the driving of the vehicle to ensure the firm connection of the interior parts.
- In the footwear industry: It is one of the commonly used adhesives for bonding the sole and the upper. It can firmly bond the soles and uppers made of different materials together, and at the same time adapt to the bending and stretching of the shoes during wearing, providing good wearing comfort and durability.
- In the leather products industry: It is used for bonding between leather and leather, as well as between leather and other materials, such as in the production of products like leather bags, leather jackets, and belts. It can make the various components of leather products closely combined while maintaining the softness and texture of the leather.
- In the architectural decoration industry: It can be used for pasting rubber floors, sound insulation materials, sealing materials, etc. In architectural decoration, it can firmly fix these materials in their corresponding positions, playing functions such as sound insulation and sealing, and can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of building materials.
Silicone-based Adhesive - Characteristics: It has excellent high-temperature resistance and can be used for a long time at high temperatures without affecting its adhesiveness. It has good chemical stability and has strong tolerance to various chemicals. It has a low surface energy and has good release performance, enabling easy removal of the label without leaving any residue. It has excellent electrical insulation performance.
- Application scenarios: It is suitable for label pasting in high-temperature environments, such as high-temperature process labels in electronic component manufacturing, automotive engine component labels, etc. In addition, it is also applied in some electronic labels that require good electrical insulation performance.
Hot Melt Adhesive - Characteristics: It has a fast curing speed and can quickly achieve the pasting and fixing of labels, improving production efficiency. It has strong adhesiveness and has a good adhesion effect on a variety of materials. It has good environmental protection performance with no solvent volatilization. The formula can be adjusted according to different needs to achieve different adhesiveness and performance characteristics.
- Application scenarios: It is often used in high-speed labeling production lines, such as beverage bottle labels, carton labels, etc. It is widely used in the packaging industry where a high labeling speed is required.
Water-based Adhesive - Characteristics: Using water as a solvent, it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, with no organic solvent volatilization, meeting environmental protection requirements. It has good affinity for materials such as paper and can form a firm bond. The adhesive film formed after drying has a certain degree of flexibility and water resistance.
- Application scenarios: It is especially suitable for paper labels, such as library labels, archive labels, and ordinary commodity paper labels, etc. It is also widely used in some fields with high environmental protection requirements, such as labels for aquatic products and food packaging.
