Labels that do not interfere with recycling​

With Acronal® RCF, we offer recycling-friendly acrylic adhesives for permanent paper labels with excellent convertibility, certified for paper and paperboard recycling. ​

Closing the loop with Acronal® RCF

Today, most of the adhesives used for paper labels interfere with the paper recycling process. Our newly developed Acronal® RCF portfolio enables such labels to be easily removed early in the process, making it possible to reuse and print recycled paper or paperboard packaging without any further issues.​
