Definitions

  • the invention relates to a label, the underside of which is to be adhered to an object by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer which is located on its underside and is substantially fully soluble in a washing liquid.
  • a label is known from EP-A 368 326. Labels of this type are used, in particular, for sticking onto plastic objects, in particular plastic bottle crates.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a label of this type which can be detached particularly easily by means of the washing liquid from the object to which it is glued.
  • the label is characterized in that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer covers the underside of the label, leaving zones that can be rinsed free.
  • the label is particularly weather-resistant, less susceptible to dirt and easily reprocessable (recyclable) if it is characterized in that it consists of a composite material containing a plastic film composite that can be reprocessed after being detached from the object.
  • the ability of the label to float on the washing liquid is particularly high if the plastic film composite of the label has a film containing vacuoles - in particular PP film - between two films containing no vacuoles - in particular PP films.
  • a high level of security against counterfeiting is obtained if at least one of the films mentioned - but preferably all the films mentioned - is or have been biaxially stretched.
  • a label provided with at least one such biaxially stretched film deforms when it is pulled off the object and cannot be used again.
  • the label is advantageously applied to the object by detaching it from a carrier tape which is pulled over a deflection edge in a manner known per se.
  • the label is preferably detachably on a reprocessable carrier material before it is attached to the objects.
  • a carrier material which has a kraft paper as a base on which a silicone layer which facilitates the removal of the label adheres via a PE film has proven particularly useful as such a carrier material.
  • the one surface area of such an object is preferably on which the label is to be glued, pretreated by flame or corona discharge.
  • the adhesive is particularly easy to remove from the washing liquid if the washing liquid consists of basic additives such as NaOH, NH 4 Cl, NH 3 and if the adhesive consists of a material which - dissolved in the washing liquid - by neutralizing the basic additives is precipitable in the washing liquid.
  • basic additives such as NaOH, NH 4 Cl, NH 3
  • the adhesive consists of a material which - dissolved in the washing liquid - by neutralizing the basic additives is precipitable in the washing liquid.
  • An adhesive which has a polymethyl methacrylate as the base material has proven particularly useful.
  • the washable zones lie in the edge area of the label and / or between areas of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
  • the label preferably has the same MFI melt index as the plastic of the object.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section of a label on a carrier.
  • FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of the label according to FIG. 1 detached from the carrier.
  • the carrier 1 of the label consists of white kraft paper with a thickness of 60-74 g / m2, in particular 67 g / m2.
  • a silicone layer 2 adheres to the carrier 1 via a PE film 10.
  • a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 removably adheres to the silicone layer 2 on the underside of a film composite 12.
  • the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is 12-24 ⁇ m, preferably 18 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of the film composite 12 is 20-120 ⁇ m, better 30-50 ⁇ m, preferably 40 ⁇ m.
  • the film composite 12 consists of a white, vacuole-containing, biaxially stretched PP film 5 between two white, biaxially stretched, no vacuoles-containing PP films 4, 6.
  • the vacuoles in the film 5 can be created in that the PP in the liquid Condition before it is pressed out of a nozzle to form a film and finely ground chalk is added. The vacuoles then form during biaxial stretching.
  • This imprint 7 is covered by a transparent film 9, which is glued onto the imprint 7 and the free areas of the film 6 by means of a laminating adhesive.
  • the film 9 has a thickness of 8-16 ⁇ , preferably 12 ⁇ , and consists of biaxially stretched PP.
  • the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is divided into three areas 3a, 3b, 3c, which are separated from one another by adhesive-free zones 14, 16.
  • the adhesive-free zones 14, 16 are strip-shaped and open into an adhesive-free zone 18 which encloses the areas 3a, 3b, 3c in the form of a strip.
