Innovative Adhesive for Labels
Badger Tag & Label Corporation, in conjunction with a supplier, has developed an adhesive that performs like a permanent hold but still is repositionable. This new adhesive can be cleanly removed from numerous types of surfaces including metals, plastics, glass and paper. In addition to offering good adhesion and clean, long-term removability from smooth surfaces, it also adheres to more challenging surfaces such as Teflon¨, textured PVC and corrugated materials.

Badger is currently using the adhesive, combined with a white polyester synthetic base stock, but could offer it with other synthetic or paper stocks. The polyester material can withstand somewhat oily surfaces and still adheres well. It also withstands temperatures up to approximately 200¡F without distortion or leaving adhesive residue behind. The synthetic label demonstrates good resistance to commonly used cleaning solutions, alcohol, ammonia, water and conditions like humidity. It is thermal transfer and laser imprintable.

The labels are ideal for applications when itÕs critical to track from specific raw material through complete produced item. Badger currently produces a label with a combination of barcodes and face slits so as the label progresses through the manufacturing process with the item, at each stage a code can be scanned and a portion of the label removed.
