Oil drums in the automotive sector are typically formed from rough, blow-moulded HDPE. In most cases these containers will be subject to temperature change during the filling process, causing them to deform to some degree. This places strict requirements on the label materials to prevent warping, bubbling, wrinkling or lifting. UPM Raflatac’s RP 50 and RP 77 adhesives have been specially formulated for use in oil drum and container applications, and are available with a range of specially selected paper and film materials.
