UPM Raflatac unveils UV hotmelt adhesive

UPM Raflatac has launched a UV hotmelt adhesive for use with transparent and opaque films in beverage and food labeling. The RC 7B adhesive performs well on a range of substrates, including glass and PET, and is suitable for applications requiring a no-label look.

RC 7B also provides excellent performance in challenging conditions, showing good adhesion and lasting clarity even when labels are applied to moist bottles, says the company. High temperature tolerance also makes the adhesive suited to packing and bottling processes involving pasteurization.

RC 7B has good resistance to water-whitening at any stage of its lifecycle, including prolonged immersion in water after labeling.
