3 Sigma Announces New Water-Dissolvable Label Stock

Friday 03. October 2008 - 3 Sigma, a leading supplier of pressure-sensitive and other materials to the label industry, has announced the immediate availability of a new water-dissolvable label stock. 

The product consists of a 40-pound supercalendered paper and WD-1 adhesive, both of which dissolve quickly and wash away in room temperature water.  The new 3 Sigma label stock is ideally suited for marking and identifying food trays, water toys, sports equipment, watercraft, or returnable containers.
 
Discussing the new label stock, 3 Sigma Product Development Manager Paul Benson commented: “Many manufacturers and end users seek a temporary label product that is environmentally benign and can be easily removed.  This label stock has great potential for new and innovative applications, and was enthusiastically received by label producers during beta testing.”
 
Since 1980, 3 Sigma has been a fast-growing, resourceful innovator of specialty pressure sensitive adhesive coated products.  3 Sigma offers expertise in solvent, emulsion, and hot melt technologies, to provide the optimum solution for any label need.  Quality teams monitor and inspect material throughout the manufacturing process according to ISO 9001:2000 guidelines, to ensure that 3 Sigma customers receive the best label stock available.
