Chemical-resistant industrial label materials
Chemical-resistant labels
Research laboratories, the biomedical industry, hazardous material transportation, and flammable substance storage – these are just a few examples of work environments in which you need more than mere paper label material for your identification labels. Instead, you need chemical-resistant labels.
ONE2ID offers a range of chemical-resistant label materials designed for environments where it is essential for the labels to have strong chemical-resistant properties. These labels are ideal for use in washing and autoclave processes, cleaning procedures, or the production of electronic components.
Based on the operating temperatures and any specific chemicals your labels will encounter, we can recommend the most suitable label material. It is also critical to pair these labels with an appropriate printer ribbon to ensure long-lasting print quality and label performance.
Which label materials are chemical-resistant?
Vinyl and polyester are excellent choices for printing your own chemical-resistant labels. Our memory-free vinyl wrap-around labels are commonly used in laboratories to identify items like test tubes. Once printed, these labels can be wrapped around the tube, with the transparent section of the wrap-around label serving as a protective laminate.
Polyester materials with exceptionally strong adhesive properties are also highly resistant to chemicals. These are ideal for type plates or asset tags which will be exposed to chemicals and oils. For cable and wire labelling, our polyurethane and polyolefin materials also have a high resistance to, providing reliable solutions for harsh environments.
Pre-printed chemical-resistant labels
You can also opt to have your chemical-resistant labels manufactured by our in-house team. This not only saves you time but also ensures that all pre-printed labels come finished with a chemical-resistant laminate for added durability.
The benefit of a laminate finish is that critical information on the label, such as barcodes, text, or numbers, is protected from harmful chemical exposure for an extended period of time. This reduces the risk of registration errors, as the labels remain legible even after prolonged use. By investing in laminated labels, you can ensure years of reliability, reducing the need for frequent reordering.
