Resistance to grease and oil, adhesion to metal and painted metal, and requirements for heat and abrasion resistance dictate constructions with Polyester overlaminations. A white Polyester facestock is necessary for many of these harsh environments. Adhesives selection can range from 2 mil high temperature Acrylic to 5 mil high tack Acrylic, depending on the surfaces to which it is to be bonded. Telecommunications Printed circuit board and electronic component labeling. Warehouse Automation Shelf labels.
Reflective location labels for long distance scanning.
Warehouse Racks Color coded for various different levels of the warehouse. A Polyester or an Acrylic overlamination with a white Polyester facestock and 5 mils of adhesive is generally accepted. For larger labels and if cost is a consideration, a paper facestock can be substituted. Warehouse bins Many warehouse bins are made from molded Polyethylene or molded Polypropylene. For this reason, WLP suggests the AV adhesive, which has excellent adhesion to low surface energy plastics.
