MACtac® Printing Products Expands BS 5609 Certifications to Chemical Drum Labels
MACtac® Printing Products expands BS 5609 Section 2 and Section 3 certifications for MACtac FDC6914 2-mil white polyester to print with ITW Thermal Films B324 black and C5440 red resin ribbons using cab XC4 and cab XC6 thermal printers. Developed to address the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), the solution meets internationally recognized standards for durability and environmental resistance.
BS 5609 is a specification for printed pressure-sensitive, adhesive-coated labels for marine use, including requirements for label base material. BS 5609 comprises four parts, of which there are two key sections – Section 2 and 3. Section 2 details the tests to be carried out on the base label material and Section 3 on the printed label. Base labels must meet the requirements of Section 2 in order to meet the print methods in Section 3. Tests of the print method set out various durability criteria including adhesive performance, print performance and abrasion resistance, stipulating minimum standards for labels to be used in marine environments.
