Swiss hot melt specialist artimelt AG has adult an adhesive that addresses that issue of tampering. With artimeltsurface, artimelt has adult an agglutinative that attaches itself increasingly more powerfully to the surface equally time passes by. Whenever information technology is attempted to remove a label coated with artimeltsurface, the label will tear, or the surface of the underlying packaging volition exist damaged.

As per the recently issued European anti-tampering guidelines, which came into outcome from 9 Feb 2019, drug manufacturers are faced with the essential obligation to tamper-proof their cardboard packaging. Other manufacturers are also increasingly looking for new means to label or seal their products in such a way that consumers tin can clearly recognize whether the packaging is all the same in the originally sealed manufacturer's status or if it has already been opened.

Labels with exceptional agglutinative properties that damage the carboard when removed play a crucial role in this, according to artimelt AG. Conventional adhesives in particular fail to provide stiff enough adhesion of labels on high-quality lacquered surfaces and the labels tin exist removed relatively easily.

Artimeltsurface also adheres to surfaces that comprise silicone. With its low surface tension, silicone repels greases, dirt, and grit. At the same time, adhesives also stick very poorly to surfaces that contain silicones. artimeltsurface has been designed to create a stronger connection with the silicone-containing surface as time goes by.

The new agglutinative artimeltsurface volition be presented at ICE – the international trade fair for the finishing and processing of newspaper, film, and foil – from 12 to 14 March 2022 in Munich.
