Henkel Technomelt PS 713A Permanent Hot Melt PSA for Paper and Polyethylene Labels

Permanent Labeling Performance with Technomelt PS 713A Hot Melt PSA

Henkel Technomelt PS 713A is a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive designed for general-purpose permanent labeling applications. It provides excellent adhesion to paper and film face stocks, with strong bonding performance on corrugated and polyethylene surfaces. The adhesive offers a balanced combination of tack, peel, and shear strength, maintaining reliable adhesion on both flat and curved surfaces, including low-energy materials.

Technomelt PS 713A Labeling Adhesive Highlights

• Balanced Adhesion Profile: Delivers excellent tack, peel, and shear strength for consistent labeling performance.
• Versatile Substrate Compatibility: Bonds effectively to paper, film, corrugated board (including recycled), and polyethylene.
• Curved Surface Performance: Maintains strong adhesion on both large and small diameter surfaces without lifting.
• Low Energy Surface Adhesion: Formulated to adhere to difficult substrates with reliable hold.
• Flagging Resistance: Resists wing-up on curved or contoured label applications.
• Thermal Stability: Performs well within typical coating temperatures of 275°F–350°F (135°C–177°C).
