The RafCare range includes dedicated adhesives combined with clear and white polypropylene label faces in different thicknesses to meet resealable labeling needs in numerous applications, including personal care, home care and industrial.

One product from the range is the new RC 13 adhesive with precision performance for open-closure labeling in personal care end uses. UPM Raflatac said the soft and smooth, extra-quiet peel characteristic of RC 13 is especially desirable for personal care products where discreet and convenient opening are essential to a positive brand experience.

RafCare products also meet and exceed the latest expectations for consumer safety and sustainability, UPM Raflatac said.

Compared to traditional solvent-based adhesives, the UV-acrylic RC 12 and RC 13 adhesives produce no hazardous air pollutants and use a fraction of the energy during labelstock production.

Further, the label faces are recyclable with plastic packaging, and the paper glassine liners are recyclable through UPM Raflatac’s RafCycle program.

The RafCare wet wipes range for personal care labeling was a major part of UPM Raflatac’s presence at last year’s Labelexpo India.
