International. Evonik has launched the first product of its new range of next-generation TEGO RC solutions: TEGO RC 2000 LCF.
Made from recycled silicone raw materials, the new non-stick coating can be cured using UV LEDs, which consume less energy, or traditional UV arc lamps, helping label producers reduce their carbon footprint to meet growing sustainability ambitions.
According to the FINAT RADAR 2023 report, published by the European Association for the Self-Adhesive Label Industry, 81% of members surveyed see an increased demand for environmentally friendly label products.
According to the company, Evonik's new, ready-to-use single-component release coating offers easy-to-control release performance, very good curing and anchoring properties, as well as excellent aging stability with industry-leading pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and temperature-sensitive substrates.
