TECHNOMELT PS 1573 E is a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive formulated for label converters and packaging manufacturers who need reliable adhesion on paper labels, film labels, and low surface energy substrates. Buyers sourcing TECHNOMELT PS 1573 E for label production benefit from moderate adhesion across a variety of substrates combined with good initial tack and toughness at low temperatures.
Product Description
This hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive is specifically designed for paper labels, film labels, and low surface energy substrates. It has moderate adhesion to a variety of substrates and provides good initial tack and toughness at low temperatures, making it a practical choice for converters running mixed substrate jobs on the same line.
Why TECHNOMELT PS 1573 E Suits Label Converting Applications
Label converters evaluating adhesive options for paper and film substrates look for a balance of tack, toughness, and low-temperature performance. This adhesive is formulated to deliver that balance.
- Moderate adhesion to a variety of substrates, including low surface energy films
- Good initial tack for fast, reliable application during high-speed labeling
- Toughness at low temperatures for cold-chain and cold-storage label applications
- Suitability for both paper labels and film labels on the same production line
Matching This Adhesive to Low Surface Energy Substrates
Low surface energy substrates, such as certain polyolefin films, are historically difficult for pressure sensitive adhesives to bond to reliably. Converters specifying TECHNOMELT PS 1573 E for these substrates should still run adhesion trials on their specific film grade, since surface treatment level and film formulation can vary between suppliers.
Cold-Temperature Toughness for Cold Chain Labeling
Toughness at low temperatures is particularly relevant for labels applied to refrigerated or frozen packaging, where adhesive brittleness at low temperature can cause label edges to lift. This adhesive’s low-temperature performance makes it a candidate for cold chain and frozen food labeling applications.
Qualifying Hot Melt Adhesive for Your Application Line
Converters switching to this hot melt system should confirm application temperature, coat weight, and open time settings on their existing equipment before scaling to full production, since these parameters affect both adhesion performance and machine runnability. Running a short pilot batch across representative label stock and film substrates helps confirm settings before a full changeover on the production line.
