The available pressure sensitive adhesives are almost limitless. We can coat both solvent and water based chemistries. Our customers can specify their adhesive of choice, or our chemists can recommend a possible solution. Some of the adhesive types available from Rayven include: acrylic, rubber, synthetic rubber, and hybrid blends. Features such as tack, adhesion, shear, clarity, color, chemical resistence, fuel resistence, removability, and repositionability, can be addressed.
The release liner, or backing, is another area where Rayven can offer assistance with a wide range of "off the shelf" options and solutions. We apply release coatings "in house" so we are not limited to standard release liner types. Common release liners for label applications include; various weight clay coated papers, poly coated papers, polyester films, and biaxially orientated polypropylene films. The release liner can be offered with backside printing, flood coatings, traction coatings, and/or anti-static coatings.
Widths are available up to 55 inches (1400mm). We can slit label materials down to as narrow as 1/4"(6.35mm), although slit widths for label materials typically range in the 6" to 18" range. Master rolls can currently be supplied up to 32 inches in diameter, and slit rolls up to 24 inches in diameter.
