UPM Raflatac promotes pharma and reclosables

UPM Raflatac majored on its thin Raflex MDO label film and the RafCare wet wipes range for personal care labeling, and the RP 31 Purus adhesive for pharmaceutical end-uses, at last week's Labelexpo India 2014.

Raflex MDO is a machine-direction oriented conformable film for contoured and squeezable containers. The RafCare range offers adhesives and label faces combined for specific wet-wipes applications – personal care, home care and industrial.

The RP 31 Purus adhesive is specially developed for pharmaceutical labeling where migration safety is an issue. Critical applications for RP 31 Purus include labeling for liquid drug preparations packed in plastic containers and LDPE droppers.

UPM Raflatac recently appointed Pravin Varshney as South Asia country manager. In India the company’s operations include slitting terminals in Bangalore and Mumbai.

In terms of trends, UPM Raflatac has seen a definitive move from chromo papers to film, particularly for cosmetics and pharma applications.
