Chemical Resistant Labels for Extra Harsh Environments

For your really harsh environments, we have developed a chemical covering over exceedingly robust material. The base material is firstly reversed engraved to provide a high level of protection from mild chemicals and provide the label with mechanical protection. Added to this is a special layer of superb chemical resistant material.

The picture below shows a piece of aluminium with two samples attached. These two samples were subjected to the harshest of chemicals and solvents found in the chemical industry. These chemicals included Acetone - which will destroy most plastics, THF and IPA.

As you can see from the photograph, test sample "A" is completely unharmed by this assault. However sample "B" has considerable damage to the surface. Needlessly to say, test sample "A" has has the extra protection of chemical resistant material added.

This test was carried out by the R&D laboratory of one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturing plants here in Ireland.

Following this trial and test, this excellent material has been specified for all labels in the appropriate areas.

Please call the office directly for a sample, and we will be happy to dispatch a piece for you to do your own application tests.
