SIS materials for label and tape adhesive systems

SIS materials can be evaluated for label adhesives, tape adhesives, and pressure-sensitive adhesive systems where tack, cohesion, substrate fit, and converting processability all need to be discussed together.

Application overview

Label and tape projects often need a practical balance between initial tack, holding power, cohesion, substrate fit, and converting processability. The useful starting point is not a catalog claim, but a discussion path that connects the application requirement to SIS grade direction, data sheets, and trial planning.

Material selection factors

Technical and purchasing teams usually compare these factors before selecting a SIS direction for label or tape adhesive systems.

Tack and peel behaviorInitial tack and peel response on paper, film, and selected low-surface-energy substrates.
Cohesion and holding powerHolding power for the finished adhesive system, including cohesion needs under actual use conditions.
Converting processabilityCoating, die-cutting, thermal stability, and hot-melt adhesive preparation behavior.
Formula and trial routeFinal direction depends on adhesive formulation, process method, target substrate, and trial results.

Application case benchmark

The benchmark below shows how application-focused material discussion can connect grade direction, process adjustment, and measurable trial outcomes.

Label Converter Benchmark

Reducing adhesive cost while improving die-cutting stability

A label manufacturer producing film labels needed to reduce adhesive formulation cost without increasing edge bleed or lowering converting speed.

8.6%estimated adhesive formulation cost reduction
14%higher average die-cutting line stability during trial runs
2.5 hrsless weekly downtime from adhesive edge cleanup
  • Adjusted SIS grade direction from a general-purpose path to a higher-tack label discussion path.
  • Reviewed tackifier ratio and melt viscosity target with the customer formulation team.
  • Kept peel and holding power within trial target while improving converting cleanliness.

FAQ

Which SIS grades can be discussed for labels and tapes?

Jusage SIS 1100, 1120, 1180, 1220, 1250, 1250L, and 4270 are common discussion directions. Final selection should be based on formulation and application testing.

Can one SIS grade fit all label applications?

No. Label stock, film, coating method, adhesive formula, and end-use conditions can change the grade direction.

Where can I find SIS data sheets?

Begin with the Download Center, then contact the team for grade-specific or application-specific support.
