MACtac® Performance Adhesive Group recently announced it has expanded its BS 5609:1986 certifications for chemical container labeling with new Section 2 and Section 3 approvals to print with three ink suppliers: iimak, Armor SAS and ITW Thermal Films.
“We want to get ahead of the new GHS mandate for chemical labels by continuing to provide our customers with a portfolio of solutions that can confidently meet recognized standards for durability and environmental resistance,” said Kim Hensley, product manager. “Through a joint effort, it’s easy to address the requirements of BS 5609 knowing the full solution, including the label base material, pressure-sensitive adhesive and thermal printing, all together pass the standard.”
