WHAT WE DO: Multiple industry and product standards mandate permanent labeling, usually in terms of “lasting for the life of the product.” Manufacturers and OEMs currently acquiring pressure-sensitive adhesive or other types of labeling technologies specified for use on low surface energy (LSE) polyolefin plastic durable goods are receiving labels originally engineered for, and tested on, high surface energy metals and composites where they perform amicably. But look closely at any pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive based label datasheet and you'll find no chemical or environmental testing conducted on actual LSE polyolefin plastic test panels. That’s because these label technologies, when applied to LSE polyolefin plastics and exposed to abuse, chemicals, UV and other real-world environmental conditions neither adhere nor bond permanently. Fusion Labeling Technology from Polyfuze on the other hand takes Pigmented Polymer Plastic (label), and Polymer Plastic (Product), then fuses them together using heat/pressure via Hotstamp/ VeraFlex technology. The fusion reaction takes place very quickly during the heat/pressure process resulting in the two plastics coming together (melting/joining) and then quickly cooling once heat/pressure is released. WHY IT WORKS: Different from standard Adhesion Technology where the primary action is a surface adhesion reaction resulting in two different materials adhering; Fusion Technology is at the molecular level creating one piece of fused Olefin plastic inseparable. This creates an unbreakable chain that cannot be removed by abuse, chemicals, UV or other environmental inputs. Polyfuze Fusion Labeling Technology is backed by the Polyfuze Lifetime Guarantee.
