UPM Raflatac RP48 AT acrylic adhesive

UPM Raflatac has expanded its range of adhesives for food labelling with the RP48 AT (all-temperature) acrylic adhesive for the European market.

Food packaging that will be labelled and stored in chilled or moist conditions, usually at 10°C or colder, often presents challenges for brand owners and packers. The RP48 AT is a suitable alternative to hot melt adhesives which are typically used to label foods stored in these conditions, but can suffer from limited clarity and convertibility.

The acrylic adhesive is suitable for a wide variety of temperatures, particularly chilled conditions, ensuring labels on food packaging remain firmly in place and retain their shelf appeal. Furthermore, it offers good clarity when used with clear film faces and is said to improve the stability and efficiency of the converting and dispensing processes.

The product can be paired with UPM Raflatac’s PP White FTC 60 or PP Clear FTC 50 film face materials.
