Labels with glue on freezing


Frozen products with a surface on which delicate frost may occur. These labels contain a special adhesive. They are used in the food industry for products stored at low temperatures (below 0 degrees Celsius). These labels have a special adhesive with significantly increased adhesion to wet surfaces. They are applied to so-called special materials, flexible packaging used in low temperatures and high humidity. Available constructions are: semi-gloss GLOSS paper, matte paper, TOP thermal paper, PP film and HD PE film (the best). The raw material supplier guarantees 2-year durability under appropriate storage conditions. From experience and old samples, it appears that even after 10-12 years this adhesive retains its properties. Do not store at temperatures below 20 degrees and humidity of 50%. Long-term storage at high temperature and humidity shortens the shelf life. Minimum labeling temperature: -25. Minimum temperature after labeling: -40 (on request from -50).

If we are talking about “deep freeze glue”, it means glue with which labels can be applied at temperatures up to -20C and withstands up to -40C. So the application temperature is crucial here. Ordinary rubber adhesives (RH9X, RH01, FH21, S2045n) should also hold up well at -40C, but they cannot be applied at such low temperatures (0C for RH9X and -5*C for RH01). “For frosted surfaces” adhesives are already a higher shelf, also in terms of price e.g. RH03 and C2075n. Of course, everything depends on how much frost is on the labeled surface. If there is too much of it, then we try to stick the label to the ice rather than the packaging - in such a case even these adhesives will not work.
