Seawater resistant labels for the safe labeling of hazardous substances
These labeling products sustain for the period of three months after the submerging in seawater. The label materials and their imprints have been tested for the adhesion and legibility under these harsh conditions. The test has been set up in cooperation with a brand producer for labeling foils and performed by an UL-laboratory in the USA.
The company robos-labels has a certificate which attests the seawater resistance of the hazmat labels produced and imprinted by Robos-labels in accordance with BS5609 II and BS5609 III.
The main features of seawater resistant labels
- The labels adhere safely and remain legible for at least 3 months
- High dimensional stability, the labels adapt to the container form
- The often very big labels can be also adhered manually
- The labels are very suitable for convex surfaces
- High resistance for outdoor application in all climate zones
- High abrasion resistance with suitable thermal transfer ribbons for the thermal transfer printing
- Suitable for the labeling in conformity with standards like e.g. BS 5609 and GHS
- Very high adhesive power also on difficult substrates
- Optimization of processes due to the automation of material and product flow
- Preprinted labels in individual formats and special forms for the subsequent inscription
Functions and advantages – precisely tailored to your requirements for the labeling
If there is a risk that the hazmat labels will contact seawater or will be exposed to it for a longer period of time, then the certification complying with BS5609 section II is not sufficient. The content of the kegs, canisters and containers swimming in the sea or being washed ashore must be identified fast and secure to minimize the damage to humans and environment.
Only a certificate with attests the durability in accordance with the requirements of BS5609 section III includes the later legibility of the imprint. To exclude the recourse and damage claims in the case of accident the certification of the labels complying to section III is essential.
The seawater resistant labels offer the best possible flexibility and will be adjusted individually to the customer’s requirements. This happens by using suitable special materials of leading manufacturers, individual die-cutting forms and premium adhesives.
The labels can be inscribed directly as required in variable amounts with current data at the site, by that the storage and the management of numerous labels may be dropped.
Some materials and products which must be labeled are still hot when the labels have to be adhered. Other products can have abrasive or dusty or oily surface, which can be labeled with matching adhesives.
Our upscale and accurate processing with most modern die-cutting technologies guarantees the highest precision and reliability for the label application. Thus even seawater labels with adhesives which are difficult to process can be processed mechanically very well, which increases the user efficiency in the long term.
