Neenah's Kimdura line of label stock has been used for more than 30 years for challenging applications

The Neenah Performance Labels portfolio of high-performing, highly engineered substrates are designed for applications in demanding conditions. The Kimdura line of label stock has been used for more than 30 years for challenging applications including labels and tags for drum chemicals, hazard communications, health care, industrial, logistical and outdoor use.

Kimdura DualTech is available at 3.5pt (98g/sqm), and adds an option for both inkjet and laser printing platforms and is compliant with BS 5609 Part 2 and 3.

Srinivas Nomula, senior director of marketing at Neenah Performance Labels & Specialties, said: ‘Our customers expect Neenah to develop products to fit their evolving needs. Kimdura DualTech demonstrates best-in-class performance and chemical resistance with laser and inkjet printers, even when exposed to a wide range of industrial and household solvents.

‘Similar products in the marketplace showed little or no resistance to industrial chemicals when printed using laser printers. Kimdura DualTech outperformed other labels, with even barcodes remaining legible during harsh testing environments.’

Gracy Wingkono, product manager at Neenah Performance Labels & Specialties, added: ‘Besides demonstrating exceptional print durability, Kimdura DualTech has been developed to respond to our customers who have been asking us to develop a thinner, brighter, whiter label facestock. This new product can serve diverse applications and market verticals, including tire and rubber industries, as well as consumer durables labeling.’
