Technicote enjoys this opportunity to show the end users and wineries the capabilities of our facestocks and adhesives. Technicote’s IP400 Ice Bucket adhesive also brings attention to our booth and allows us to show our capabilities on the entire pressure sensitive construction.

Technicote Receives BS5609 Section 3 Certification on Polyester Label Film


Technicote recently expanded its British Standard BS 5609 Certified portfolio for chemical drum labeling to include Section 3 – ‘Laboratory Performance of Printed Labels’ – on its 2 mil Matte White CP Polyester pressure sensitive film offering. The film, in combination with Technicote’s DL400 acrylic adhesive and Konica Minolta toner* for the manufacturer’s c7000 series laser printer are BS5609:1986 certified according to the specification for printed pressure-sensitive, adhesive-coated labels for marine use, including requirements for label base material.

Overall, Technicote has achieved British Standard BS 5609: Section 2 – ‘Marine and Laboratory Performance of Label Base Materials’ on seven durable film pressure sensitive label products including: 2 mil Matte White CP Polyester, 2 mil White TC Polyester, 3.2 mil C2S Polyart®, 4 mil White NTC Vinyl, 3.5 mil Techni-Flex, 3.8 C2S Polyart®, and 2 mil Polyprint. All products have been approved with Technicote’s DL400 adhesive. The addition of Section 3 certification to the Matte White laser printable film offering is a welcoming complement to this highly durable matte white film featuring anti-static properties.

BS 5609 is a specification for adhesive coated products intended for marine use. Labels are typically used to display identification, warnings, and instructions on chemical drums. Testing is required for pressure sensitive drum labels needing International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) certification and includes a 3-month exposure of labeled test plates at mid-tide. BS 5609 Section 2 sets out various durability criteria which stipulate minimum standards for labels to be used in “Marine Environments,” while Section 3 stipulates the performance of printed label materials in a laboratory environment.

“Technicote continually strives to satisfy our customers’ label requirements by actively identifying and fulfilling the demands for the specific application”, notes Casey Boardwine, Senior Marketing Manager of Technicote. “We understand the BS5609 certification process can be cumbersome, as it is both costly and time consuming. However, if the label application requires Section 3 approval, we will gladly assist you in your efforts to achieve certification on the appropriate Technicote product”. 

Technicote is pleased to help relieve this burden for converters so they can better utilize their time and dedicate their resources to other projects,” adds Boardwine.

To learn more about Technicote’s drum label product line, contact your Technicote sales representative or visit our website at www.technicote.com
