ExxonMobil Chemical has introduced new Label-Lyte
50ML580 metalized, surface-printable oriented polypropylene (OPP) film for
pressure sensitive label (PSL) applications requiring a consistent, attractive
metallic appearance and high-speed performance. Label-Lyte 50ML580 OPP film is
well suited for applications such as beverages, health and beauty care, and
household products.
The film features a proprietary ExxonMobil
Chemical coating over the metalized surface which provides improved metal
adhesion and protection. The film’s design also helps to prevent the formation
of pinholes and crazing. The top coating provides excellent print receptivity
for a range of ink systems and consistent printing across multiple
technologies. Label-Lyte 50ML580 film is compatible with UV flexo, letterpress,
screen and offset systems, as well as water-based flexo and solvent-based
gravure systems.
The adhesive surface is designed for broad
functionality and adhesive system flexibility, and eliminates metal transfer
which is common in adhesive-side metalized films. The film also exhibits
excellent stiffness for automatic label dispensing.
“The new Label-Lyte 50ML580 film meets the
needs of converters looking for high-speed, reliable press performance and
brand owners who require high-quality, consistent metalized labels to enhance
product promotion,” said Kevin Frydryk, global labels film market development
manager.
ExxonMobil Chemical’s controlled
manufacturing process for Label-Lyte 50ML580 film from manufacture through metalizing
to top coating provides consistent appearance and quality. This can help
eliminate expensive and complex outsourcing of product supply.
