Lecta unveils new materials developments

Adestor, Lecta’s range of self-adhesive materials, presents SA234, a new water-soluble acrylic adhesive that leaves no residue on the labeled product and that is suitable for all types of reusable transport boxes and trays as well as for other surfaces habitually used in retail such as glass, ceramic and plastic, says the company.

Another development is the 23 µm and 30 µm PET release liners for high-speed automatic labeling in the beverage, food and cosmetics sectors. Visitors to stand 5C15 can also learn about the facestock range that has been designed for premium labels for wine, champagne and spirits in addition to other Adestor products, whose range of permanent adhesives is certified for direct contact with food.

The new Metalvac E LWS paper, a light wet-strength grade for glue-applied labels of non-returnable glass (eg single-use beer and water bottles) and plastic containers (PET water and beverage bottles) is the most recent addition to the Metalvac line of metalized papers for high-end labels used in the beverage, food and cosmetics sectors.

‘Endless possibilities’ is the title of the new Creaset one-side coated paper swatchbook for labels and flexible packaging: wet-strength grades for returnable water, refreshment and beer bottles, as well as gloss papers for standard food and beverage labels and packaging, are just a few examples of the possibilities that Creaset offers.

For direct thermal printing applications, Lecta’s Termax thermal papers are claimed to guarantee perfect barcode definition. The company’s Label range for self-adhesive labels consists of high-sensitivity unprotected thermal papers used in the food, logistics and industrial sectors.

Also on show is Eurokote, Lecta’s line of cast-coated gloss papers, which are said to offer high whiteness, smoothness and high image definition, making them suitable for cosmetics, perfume, food and beverage (wine, champagne, spirits and water) labels.

All of Lecta’s products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 quality standards, ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management standards, ISO 50001 energy management standards and OHAS 18001 occupational health and safety standards. They are available with PEFC and FSC Chain-of-Custody certifications, thereby guaranteeing that the wood used has been sustainably sourced.
