abstract a system is disclosed for printing, activating and applying a flow of linerless activatable labels to a flow of items to be labeled. an activatable adhesive is formulated to readily absorb energy from a given radiation source, an activatable adhesive linerless label incorporates such as the activatable adhesive. related methods and uses are described. the activatable adhesive includes a plasticizer, a tackifier, and an adhesive base polymer that includes butyl acrylate, styrene, methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, and acrylic acid. abstract of the patent abstract: "unlined labels and activatable adhesives, systems, machines and methods therefor". A system is described for printing, activating and applying a flow of unlabeled activatable labels to a flow of items to be labeled. An activatable adhesive is formulated to readily absorb energy from a particular radiation source, an unlabeled label of activatable adhesive incorporates such activatable adhesive. Related methods and uses are described. The activatable adhesive includes a plasticizer, a viscosity element, and an adhesive-based polymer that includes butyl acrylate, styrene, methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, and acrylic acid. |
