  • Mono-material labelstocksAchievement of mono-materials with PET containers

    The key to efficient recycling was to use mono-material for the container and to provide ink removal functionality during the washing process.

  • Plastic-alternative labelstocksA big step toward a sustainable society with PLALESS

    A product born from the fusion of water-resistant paper and adhesive technology that meets the demand for plastic-free products

Returnable labelstocks (film-based material) Washes off by hot alkaline water

Promote recycling of plastic containers

Returnable labelstocks (film-based material)
Washes off by hot alkaline water

This labelstock cleanly washes off of the used plastic containers during the washing process after collection. The film material (PP) allows labels to float on the surface of water after washing for efficient collection and removal.

Features

  • Washes Off cleanly during the washing process

    When in use, this type does not peel off easily even when wet, and it cleanly washes off of the container in the washing process with hot alkaline water after collection, thereby promoting container recycling.

  • Efficient label collection and removal with specific gravity separation

    The facestock is polypropylene (PP)-based synthetic paper, which is resistant to tearing even in cleaning solutions, and the PP floats on the surface of the water while the container (PET) sinks. This takes advantage of the specific gravity separation characteristics for more efficient label recovery and removal.

    Efficient label collection and removal with specific gravity separation
  • Compliant with Japan's Food Sanitation Act

    We use adhesives composed of raw materials listed on the Positive List (PL) of the Food Sanitation Act.

  • Removability

    With its removability, it can even be peeled off by hand.

    Please make a preliminary evaluation based on the intended use.

Test results

Removability performance test by hand peeling

Test items Adherend material
PET PP
WA80FA-Y

Evaluation: O No glue residue when peeling off

Test method: The label was applied to the adherend, and after being accelerated in various environments, the adhesive residue was visually evaluated when peeled off by hand.

The above are actual measurements, and are not a guarantee of product quality. Please test in advance, because the shape of the adherend and the environment and conditions of use may affect adhesion and removability.
