Limitations

Limited heat resistance. Should not be used in places where temperature is significantly above room temperature. Convertibility not as good as with other permanents. Edge-bleeding may occur. Not suitable for labelling curved surfaces. Limited adhesion to moist surfaces.

Approvals

The research centre ISEGA has given the adhesive approval for direct contact with dry and moist and such kind of fatty foods which have a reduction factor of at least 3 according to the EC directive 85/572/EEC.

Shelf life

From the date of manufacture 1 year in +20°C and RH 50% .

Storage recommendations

Store at constant temperature (20°C, RH 50%) in the dark. Exposure to strong sunlight or strong artificial light should be avoided. Also avoid the influence of aggressive chemicals.

Shelf life

With RP 51, guaranteed for two years if stored as recommended. Printed labels are guaranteed for one year if stored as recommended. The face paper has a slight tendency to discolour, but this does not affect the scannability of the bar codes.
