Resists Harmful UV Light While Retaining Color and Quality of Label
OAK HARBOR, OH—Leading manufacturer of self-wound PSA coated products, acpo ltd., introduces 691V, a UV screening overlaminate film. 691V was created to give label manufacturers an alternative to using expensive UV inks in their label printing processes. 691V is a clear, durable, polyester PSA overlaminate containing a film additive in the formulation. This allows the overlaminate to combat harmful UV rays and protect the label inks and base material from deterioration. Label manufacturers can use the 691V in conjunction with their standard water based inks for optimum print label quality, appearance and durability.
Q-Panel Lab Products, Inc., an accelerated weathering and corrosion testing facility in Homestead, Florida evaluated 691V using an X-Rite Spectrodensitometer. They reported the process yellow color retention with 691V polyester overlaminate at 98.2%. Other process yellow samples, with either no overlaminate, or standard polyester overlaminate, reported color retentions of 20.9% and 52.2% respectively. The tests confirmed 691Vs effectiveness to resist UV light, protect label base material and maintain a high color retention rate.
Because 691V is capable of enduring the harsh UV rays, it is perfect for indoor and outdoor applications where UV light is present. The 691V polyester overlaminate is offered in 14 inch and 60 inch web widths, slit to customer specifications. Standard roll lengths of 5,000’ are available with orders for longer roll lengths accepted. This overlaminate product is run and ready to ship same day or next day.
As self-wound polyester and polypropylene overlaminate film specialists, acpo ltd. continues to design and develop new film applications for the label, pressure sensitive tape, flexible packaging and consumer product industries. A specification sheet for 691V is available on the company web site at www.acpo.com/selfwoundpolyester.html
