This extreme high tack adhesive is designed to provide excellent adhesion across a wide-variety of substrates which combined with our durable face papers provides incredible resilience.

Sustainable Label Materials for the Chemical Industry

Currently we offer a variety of FSC® certified mix materials which include recycled materials allowing our customers to track the origins of our face materials and demonstrate the paper material is from responsibly managed forests. FSC® License Code C002557. We acknowledge the demand for alternative and sustainable materials in the chemical industry and are focused on replacing the filmic BS5609 face materials with paper based BS5609 products which will allow brand owners to negate the plastic tax and still benefit from filmic grade performance.
