Chemical-resistant labels

 In the automotive industry, many different types of oils, lubricants and other agents are used during the production process. On the one hand, these can damage the labels affixed to individual components; on the other hand, the used chemicals themselves must be stored in clearly labelled and secure packaging.

You should also keep in mind that chemicals, such as motor oils, require careful labelling, which in this case is also of marketing significance. Therefore, labels must not only be durable, but also highly aesthetic, as they are geared to promote the sales of a product and build brand awareness. Both of these criteria are met by polyester (PET) labels with a high-quality, strong adhesive, which are most commonly used for such purposes.

Polyester (PET) labels

These are products that can cope well with both chemicals of various origins and variable weather conditions. As a result, they can be applied both to components inside and outside the vehicle. In addition, this type of label has a high resistance to temperature fluctuations ranging from -40 to +150 degrees Celsius. Or, if you prefer an even higher temperature tolerance, simply use a premium quality stabilised polyester, which increases this range to +220 degrees Celsius.

In addition to the chemical resistance of the labels themselves, we should also focus on the raw materials used for printing. These, too, must meet a range of requirements to ensure that the labelling is both durable and clearly legible despite the chemicals. Ribbons offered by Libeli for this purpose enable printing of extremely small, yet clear and durable characters. They are used not only in the automotive industry, but also in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. All this is done to ensure that labels exposed to chemicals and other adverse external factors remain highly functional.
