New Multi-Purpose Fasson Adhesive for Durable Goods Labelling

Avery Dennison recognises the needs of specialist label converters in the electrical and electronics industry for low minimum order quantities of labelstocks.

09/11/07 A new multi-purpose solvent acrylic label adhesive specially suited to the needs of today's electronic products market has been launched by Avery Dennison. Fasson S8030 complements the growing professional Fasson Durables package of labelstocks for functional, safety, warning and identification labels used on electronic, automotive, and domestic appliances and other electrical goods.

Simpler specification

For converters, Fasson S8030 covers a broad spectrum of mid-range durable label applications -- particularly plastics and other smooth substrates. As a result, Fasson S8030 can help save time in the purchasing department and reduce the need for adhesive over-specification and costly inventory variety. It will deliver robust performance in many applications including computers, telephone handsets, TVs, DVD players, and lighting equipment.

With the electronic products market trending towards lighter weights, plastic components are increasingly replacing metal. Fasson S8030 provides the reliable bond strength of a solvent acrylic adhesive coupled with good everyday chemical and UV resistance. It partners the high-specification Fasson S8015 adhesive for applications where even higher chemical resistance and adhesion on rough substrates are requirements.

A flexible service platform

Avery Dennison recognises the needs of specialist label converters in the electrical and electronics industry for low minimum order quantities of labelstocks. Fasson S8030 is available with the full range of thermal transfer PET facestocks for minimum order quantities of just 300m², and to the short delivery lead times which are the standard requirement in durable goods labelling.

Avery Dennison's commitment to this market is underlined by the extension of the company's premium Fasson Durables Exact service to include two new products with the S8030 adhesive. Label printers can order Fasson Transfer PET Matt Chrome Top S8030 and Fasson Transfer PET White Top S8030 at the precise roll widths needed for a specific application, with no requirement to purchase offcut rolls, for a minimum order quantity of 100m² – just one roll.
