 Chemical Drum and Barrel Labels
McCourt has a wide offering of pressure sensitive label products recommended for chemical drum & barrel applications. These materials are designed to withstand harsh weather and environments such as extreme heat, brutal cold, high moisture, dangerous chemicals, UV light and solvents. Because these labels will be used to identify the hazardous contents within the drum, as well as pictograms to illustrate warnings and instructions, the label must retain its permanence and legibility upon being exposed to these conditions.
Due to their high strength properties and resistance to harsh conditions, McCourt recommends only durable film substrates for drum label applications. These products include: 2 mil Matte White CP Polyester, 2 mil White TC Polyester, 3.2 mil C2S PolyartŪ, 4 mil Flexible White Vinyl, and a 3.5 mil White Polyolefin.
Pair these facestocks with an aggressive, emulsion acrylic adhesive that has been specifically formulated for use in durable label applications such as chemical & barrel drums, lawn & garden equipment and household & commercial appliances. These adhesives offer outstanding adhesion to painted steel drums, fiber drums and a variety of plastic drums under high moisture conditions, as well as direct exposure to chemicals, solvents and UV rays.
The above listed products have been tested and conform to British Maritime BS 5609:1986 Section 2 - 'Marine and Laboratory Performance of Label Base Materials'. BS 5609 is an internationally recognized standard used to determine the durability of labels applied to containers intended for marine shipment. Testing includes a 3-month exposure of labeled test plates in salt water off the south coast of England, and may be required for self-adhesive drum labels needing International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) certification.
