UPM Raflatac has launched a high clarity deep freeze adhesive for the European market. The new 149 DF adhesive is designed for fast conversion and minimal residue on die tools, resulting in higher efficiency.
The water based acrylic adhesive is also said to provide a better level of transparency with clear film labels than with hotmelt solutions, and to enhance shelf appeal for frozen foods. The acrylic formulation also provides good UV ageing resistance to retain adhesive performance and clarity in the long term, it is claimed .
The 149 DF adhesive is available with a full range of face materials, both films and papers, and is food contact approved.
