Dead soft aluminum distorts when labels, especially very long labels, are removed. This is a useful tamper indicator. An adhesive that is zone coated around the edges of the label with an adhesive free area in the center will help static dissipation. The adhesive free center area could be important if labels are placed over holes in electronic assemblies where out-gassing from the surface of the adhesive might affect component performance. A conductive adhesive will be a further help.
Plastic liners contribute to static.
When rolls of plastic labels on plastic liners are conveyed, static surges can be expected along the web between labels. The solution is a static dissipating liner. These materials of construction, along with common sense static control devices such as the grounding of equipment and operators, static string or brushes, ionized air, and humidity control will dramatically reduce static problems in the most demanding environments. Dead soft aluminum. Static dissipating polyester or polyfluorocarbon liner.
