  • Label Liners: Meeting the Sustainability Challenge
    Label liners: meeting the sustainability challenge By Mariya Nedelcheva, Product Manager Film & With ever-greater emphasis placed on packaging and waste reduction, Jenny Wassenaar, Compliance & Sustainability brand owners are looking for solutions that secure their sustainability Director, Avery Dennison credentials. Consumers pay particularly close attention to packaging, where there are significant environmental gains to be made. For example, waste from labelling can create useful by-products and circular economies. Waste is not always visible on the final packaging, but its impact on brand reputation is no less real. Consumers’ perceptions of a brand can be enhanced when sustainability is improved. label.averydennison.com Matrix Liner Final White paper waste waste label 16% 35% 37% Start-up waste plus Challenge printed End-user The challenge of recycling waste from the labelling process in error scrap - and ideally creating useful by-products - is complex. Many 10% 1% different elements must be addressed in order to move towards the ultimate goal of zero waste. For example, the word ‘recyclable’ can mean many things, and should not be viewed in isolation. Today there is a chance that recyclable products will still end up in landfill, so what matters is establishing genuinely viable end-to-end recycling solutions. That means considering every component within packaging, including where it comes from, how much material has been used, and what happens at every stage of the package’s journey through the value chain. This paper discusses how the sustainability of labelling laminates can be improved, with a particular focus on the label release liners that are left behind once labels have been dispensed.

  • Release Agents and Release Liners
    TECHNICAL TIP RELEASE AGENTS AND RELEASE LINERS A pressure sensitive adhesive, (PSA), has the ability to stick to anything that it comes into contact with. Controlling adhesive adhesion until the adhesive is in its correct placement is the function of a release liner or release agent in the case of self-wound tapes. Release agents are usually low surface energy polymers that a PSA will not bond to. One of the most common polymers used as a release agent is silicone. Other types of polymers are also used as release agents, especially on self-wound tapes, such as vinyl carbamates, vinyl acrylic copolymers, fluoro-acrylates, modified polyurethanes and even modified starch chemistries. Release agents are usually a liquid, either solvent or water based, applied to the substrate then is dried and cured before coming in contact with the adhesive. Release agents can be formulated for different degrees of bond to the PSA depending on final product. An easy release is where the PSA removes from the release agent very smoothly with no sound. Modified release is where the bond of the PSA is a little higher to meet requirements of the final product. Tight release levels are used when a pressure sensitive media may encounter extremely small diameter rolls in either printing or die cutting or cutting small font graphics on a plotter cutter. SELF-WOUND TAPES Self-wound tapes are rolls of pressure sensitive product that upon use, one layer is pulled off the layer underneath it in the application process. Tapes are limited to one process, unwind and application usually in the same motion.

  • Glossary of Terms for Pressure Sensitive Labels
    Glossary of Terms for Pressure Sensitive Labels Prepared by Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute, Inc. ©Copyright 1992 Term Description Abhesive A material that resists adhesion. Abhesive coatings are applied to surfaces to prevent sticking, heat sealing, etc. The inherent ability of a surface to inhibit deterioration or destruction by friction. Also called 'rub or scuff resistance,' it Abrasion Resistance relates to the toughness of an ink or coating. Abrasiveness The tendency of a paper, coating or ink to abrade or wear away die edges, slitting blades, printing type, etc., by friction. Absorbency That property of a porous material which causes it to take up liquids or vapors. Absorption The penetration of one substance into the mass of another. To hasten the natural progress of an event or a series of events. This can be accomplished by using heat, fast drying Accelerate solvents or by increasing the volume of air. Procedures for subjecting pressure sensitive label stock to special environmental conditions in order to predict the course of Accelerated Aging natural aging. A material added to a liquid compound to convert the whole mass into a solid, or speed up its cure. Accelerators differ from Accelerator catalysts in that they participate in the reaction and lose their chemical identity as a result. A plastic synthesized from cellulose dissolved in acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimensional stability and ink receptivity. Acetate Transparent or matte films, sometimes used for label stocks. Acetate Film A clear film made from cellulose acetate. Acrylate Resins A type of copolymer used in UV inks, adhesives and coating formulations.

The release coating is a very thin layer ~ 1 micron thick (0.001mm). As thin as is possible but still maintaining as complete a covering of the base substrate as possible Release liners • Liner substrates • Silicone release coatings • Coating technology • Release liner properties Release liner - substrate Two aspects of the release liner substrate are critical for optimum performance; A. Surface properties; - Closed & smooth surface (to limit penetration of silicone, and need for silicone). - Minimal impact on silicone cure (poisoning), allows cost advantages - Encourage robust anchorage (especially at high speed) of silicone to surface, to prevent loss/abrasion of silicone impacting release. B. Mechanical properties; - Hard surface (enables better die cutting of labels) - Reproducible thickness/caliper (allows reliable setting of die cut) - Tensile strength & tear strength (withstand the stresses applied at high speed). Both must be balanced vs basic demands on COST.
