Heat-resistant labels for high-temperature applications
Withstanding temperatures as high as 572°F, these new heat-resistant labels are part of this company’s Lintec Durable Goods and Industrial Labeling product line. They are designed for barcode applications, such as circuitboards (photo), electronics, automotive components and appliances. The new labelstocks were designed to stand up to extreme heat, solder, fluxes, solvents and chemicals. They have a heat-resistant adhesive that is paired with a heat-resistant top-coat enabling them to maintain whiteness, barcode legibility, and adhesive performance when exposed to temperatures as high as 572°F for up to 10 min. The heat-resistant topcoat is also resistant to abrasion and ribbon smudging. Labels can be digital or thermal-transfer printed. — Mactac, Stow, Ohio
