Acronal® RCF 3706

Acrylic dispersions in PSA Labels must deal with thechallenges of a growing circular economy in the field of paper and cardboard recycling. Acronal® RCF 3706 is a recycling friendly adhesive for permanent paper labels with balanced properties.

General

While most of the adhesives used for paper labels interfere with the paper recycling process, the newly developed Acronal® RCF portfolio is easy to remove early in the process, making it possible to reuse and print recycled paper or paperboard packaging without any further issues. Acronal® RCF 3706 is a ready-to-use gravure acrylic dispersion with a permanent adhesive profile for sheet PSA labels.  As such it is the ideal complement of Acronal® RCF 3705, more suitable for roll label lamination requirements. The German paper institute PTS (Papier Technische Stiftung) certified that this label adhesive can be easily removed from the recovered paper stream during recycling of paperboard packaging.
