Wausau Coated Products (WCP) launches wash-away adhesive solution WA-769. The new adhesive is an emulsion acrylic permanent adhesive with good initial tack and adhesion to most surfaces.
Ice-resistant Adhesive
WCP is offering WA-769 wash-away adhesive on two of our most popular roll label facestocks; 70# bright white felt with 30% PCW & wet strength (WS) and 60# Estate Label® #8 vellum with WS. These products are an excellent choice for facilities where bottles are returned, rinsed, and cleaned for reuse.
In addition to the wash-away adhesive properties, when these label stocks are immersed in an ice bucket, they will remain affixed keeping the label intact due to their wet strength properties.
“
Wash-away adhesives are becoming more popular as an eco-friendly way to reuse glass packaging,” states, Adam Frey, director, North American Sales, Wausau Coated Products.
“
We paired this unique adhesive with a 90% PCR content 1.2 Mil r-PET liner and sustainable facestocks when developing these two new products. Our customers continue to come to us to for wash-away solutions and we are happy to support their efforts with this new adhesive,” added Frey.
