FLEXcon adds prime label substrates with V-01

Available as part of the optiFLEX, optiFLEX EZ, optiFLEX CONCEAL, optiFLEX CONFORMmax, THINflex and DigiPRO PRIME product lines, in addition to the original sureFLEX line, FLEXcon’s new generation V-01 adhesive offers problem-free performance by running without build-up on converting or dispensing equipment.

V-01 resists moisture and exposure to product contents and passes soapy squeeze testing, making it suitable for the health and beauty, food and beverage, and household chemical markets. It is compliant with FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact.

It provides ‘excellent adhesion’ to a variety of container types, including low-surface energy HDPE. It also offers open time for clean removability of misapplied labels, allowing the container to be salvaged and re-labeled.

John Bennett, vice-president of FLEXcon, said: ‘We pride ourselves on our ability to listen to our customers' needs and then develop products that will not only help them capture new business but also reduce cost and to run efficiently.

‘V-01 is our answer to the many challenges our customers face in supplying the consumer packaging market with competitive pricing and superior performance both on the press and in the end use.’
