Resdur® - Ideal for high-resolution laser printers
Resdur® is a unique synthetic label:
Resdur® is made of polyolefin, which behaves like paper when printed on, but offers the advantages of a highly resistant film when used.
The “microporosity” of Resdur® guarantees excellent absorption of inks and toners and deep anchoring of the adhesive in the material structure. This results in extreme durability of the print and adhesive strength.
Guaranteed “flatness” before and after printing
For all your drums, containers, IBCs, and jerry cans
Resistant to chemicals, solvents, and abrasion
Resistant to heat and cold.
Static discharges are reduced
No “sticking” of labels, reduced risk of ignition of solvent or chemical vapors due to electrostatic discharge.
Adheres to the most difficult surfaces
Available with five different adhesives, ranging from “removable” to “EXTREMELY strong”.
Smooth application
“Flatness” means no curling or waving during printing and bubble-free application on all drums, containers, IBCs, and canisters. Always a flat label!
Resdur® complies with BS 5609 standard
According to the United Nations Global Harmonization System (GHS) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), manufacturers of chemicals transported on international waters must comply with the BS 5609 specification for labeling.
To obtain BS 5609 certification, labels must withstand a three-month saltwater immersion test in the English Channel. BS 5609-certified labels have been proven to meet the most stringent durability tests in the industry and are described as extremely durable labels suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions.
The BS 5609 standard consists of two main sections:
Section 2: Performance of the combination of label material and adhesive
Resdur® labels are certified according to Section 2 of British Standard 5609.
Section 3: Printing performance
Only materials certified to Section 2 can be used for testing to Section 3.
Printer models from a wide range of brands have already been certified in conjunction with Resdur® to BS 5609 Section 3, including models from Lexmark, OKI, Toshiba, Xerox, and many more.
