PPG Industries' (PPG) Teslin Receives BS 5609 Certificate
Zacks Investment Research | Sep 17, 2017 09:50PM ET
PPG Industries’ (NYSE:PPG) Teslin label stock received British Maritime Standard 5609 (BS 5609) Section 3 certification for use along with the Konica Minolta bizhub Press C1070 printing system. This enables Teslin-based labels, printed with this system, to remain intact and legible when used on chemical drums and other packaging for hazardous materials shipped by sea.
Teslin-based label products were previously granted BS 5609 Section 2 certification in which a base label is tested for adhesive performance and dimensional stability after being immersed for three months in salt water. Section 3 testing examines print permanence of a base label and legibility printed with a specific print system. The tests assess a finished label’s durability post weathering, ultraviolet radiation exposure, temperature cycling and abrasion.
Teslin BS 5609-certified label stock is resistant to water, chemicals and abrasion and offers bubble-free application. It is known for providing on-demand printing thus ensuring printed data is secure from wearing caused by handling and extreme environmental conditions. Also, it is compatible with print technologies such as inkjet, laser, thermal transfer, flexographic and offset.
Additionally, it reduces the potential for static discharge when liners are peeled from label stock. The static-dissipative nature of Teslin label stock helps in improving print quality and throughput by minimizing static buildup during digital printing.
Further, the company plans to pursue certification of the label stock in combination with more printing systems based on customer and market needs.
