Application

Loading...

Durable goods and equipment labels must perform consistently in a variety of hostile environments, under extreme conditions and temperatures. The segment demands a premium range of pressuresensitive materials that are cost-effective and durable, while minimizing waste and complying with stringent standards and service requirements. Specific applications include appliances, industrial labeling, lawn and garden equipment, and many others.

Durable automotive labels must cope with conditions in the engine compartment, where temperature extremes and exposure to liquids, including brake fluid and engine oil, can compromise printed information and adhesives, or both. Application areas include fuel cap compartment, tire pressure labels and automotive service labels.
