Acucote expands portfolio of security facestocks
Acucote has expanded its portfolio of security facestocks with the introduction of a 2 mil Clear Acetate Ultra Destructible (UD) Facestock, a cellulose diacetate film that exhibits a high level of destructibility by sheering itself upon tampering.

The new 2 mil Clear Acetate UD can be used to achieve a ‘no label look’ for tamper-evident seals and labels. A gloss topcoat provides enhanced flexo printability and high stiffness ideal for machine-applied labels. Acetate UD has good processing, die cutting and waste removal characteristics when compared to other tamper-evident films. Further environmental advantages are possible when combined with certain adhesives and liners.
‘We’re very pleased to add this new facestock to our line of specialty security products. We are constantly evaluating new facestocks. In this case, so our converters don’t have to settle for standard tamper-evident materials when looking for security solutions for their customers,’ said Earl Curran, vice president business development at Acucote.
Acucote 2 mil Clear Acetate UD facestock is available with SA780, tackified acrylic and other adhesive combinations.
