149 DF is available with a full range of face materials, both films and papers. It is food contact approved, with Documents of Compliance available on request as an assurance of legislatively compliant food safety in the packaging chain.

With clear film labels, the water-based acrylic 149 DF provides an improved level of transparency compared to hotmelt solutions, according to UPM Raflatac, and enhances shelf appeal for frozen foods.

The acrylic formulation also provides good resistance to UV ageing to retain adhesive performance and clarity over long periods.
