VPF’s two self-adhesive laminates receive certification for recyclability from the Paper Technology Foundation (PTS). PTS has certified the two VPF adhesive materials 12324 (laser/inkjet paper, 65 g) and VPF 1353951 (recycled paper 100 %, 80 g) in combination with the new dispersion acrylic adhesive 551 as not being a hindrance to the recycling process of wastepaper.
High Shear Strength with Good Processability
As a result, the complete adhesive composite has been certified as recyclable. In detail, this signifies that the adhesive can be cleanly separated from the face material in the recycling process and consequently has no negative influence on the quality of the obtained wastepaper recyclate.
The label, when used on dispatch boxes or folding cartons, for example, can be disposed of in the normal wastepaper without having to be removed from the carton beforehand. The VPF adhesive 551 also convinces with strong adhesive forces at a high shear strength of > 150 h according to FTM8 and good processability. Both label stocks are available immediately from VPF with the required liner (siliconized recycled liners are also optionally available).
