Characteristics of PET Plastic Bottle Labeling Adhesive
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles are one of the most popular types of plastic bottles used today. PET plastic bottles offer many advantages such as being lightweight, durable, safe for user health, and inexpensive to produce.
PET plastic bottles are commonly used in the beverage and food packaging industries
PET plastic bottle labeling adhesive needs to possess the following characteristics:
- High adhesion: PET plastic bottle labeling adhesive must have high adhesion, capable of sticking to various surfaces such as PET, OPP labels, paper labels, etc.
- Good water and ice-water resistance: ensuring that labels do not peel off when stored in refrigerators or exposed to water.
- Safe for users and the environment: Containing no toxic substances, ensuring safety for user health.
- Compatible with high-speed production lines.
- Suitable for use on both recycled and non-recycled bottles.
Classification of PET Plastic Bottle Labeling Adhesives
Labelling Adhesives for plastic bottles are classified based on various criteria, including:
Hotmelt Adhesive
This is the most popular type of adhesive used for labeling plastic bottles. Hotmelt adhesive (hot melt PSA adhesive) comes in block or cake forms, featuring high adhesion and fast setting time (helping increase work productivity, save time, and optimize costs). Hotmelt adhesive is suitable for both semi-automatic and automatic labeling machines.
Hotmelt PSA cake adhesive is commonly used to apply OPP labels onto PET bottles
This type of PET plastic bottle labeling adhesive works exceptionally well with “stubborn” labels such as: OPP, BOPP, PVC film labels, UV film labels, etc.
Emulsion Adhesive (Water-based Glue)
Emulsion adhesive is a water-based glue with Poly (Vinyl Acetate) as its main component. It has a milky white color and a slightly sour odor. The characteristic of this adhesive is its ease of use.
Emulsion adhesive can be used to apply various labels for different types of bottles
Similar to hotmelt adhesive, emulsion adhesive can bond film labels with good adhesion, creating firm bonds even on hard-to-stick materials such as BOPP-coated paper, PE, glossy UV-coated labels, etc.
This adhesive is specialized for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, etc.
How to Choose the Right PET Plastic Bottle Labeling Adhesive
Today, labeling adhesives in general and bottle labeling adhesives in particular are gradually replacing traditional adhesive tape methods. Consequently, adhesive products are becoming increasingly diverse to meet customer demands.
Based on Bottle Characteristics
The characteristics of plastic bottles such as size, shape, material, etc., will influence the choice of the appropriate adhesive.
Based on Bottle Labels
The label material (regular paper labels, OPP, BOPP, PVC, PE film labels, or glossy UV-coated labels, etc.) has its own characteristics, suitable for different types of adhesives.
Additionally, large label sizes, drying time requirements, and raw material costs will also dictate the selection of different adhesive types.
Based on Application Methods
Emulsion adhesive can be applied manually or automatically, whereas hotmelt adhesive is suitable for automatic and semi-automatic labeling machines.
