Dow unveils new steam shrinkable label film

The Dow Chemical Company has expanded its range of Opticite roll-fed shrink label films with a new film designed to shrink in steam. The Opticite 41 roll-fed shrink label film enables up to 50 percent shrink in the machine direction, conforming well on highly contoured containers in shrink tunnels using steam.

Other products in the range include the Opticite 48 and 61 roll-fed shrink label films, which shrink up to 35 percent in hot air. 

Opticite roll-fed shrink label films are suitable for existing shrink labeling technology and for use with traditional hot melt adhesive, solvent or ultra-violet curable adhesive, as well as with laser and hot bar systems.
