Frequently Asked Questions About Labeling in the Chemical Industry
Which labels are suitable for chemicals and hazardous substances?
Highly durable labels are suitable for chemicals and hazardous substances; their material, adhesive, and printing are tailored to the specific container and the conditions it will be exposed to. Key factors include resistance to chemicals, solvents, moisture, abrasion, UV radiation, and weathering.
What are the requirements for GHS and CLP labels?
Hazardous substances and mixtures must be labeled in accordance with applicable GHS/CLP requirements. Depending on the product, this includes, among other things, the product identifier, hazard pictograms, the signal word, and hazard and precautionary statements. The label must remain clearly legible and securely affixed throughout the product’s intended use.
Which labels are suitable for drums, IBCs, and canisters?
Drums, IBCs, canisters, and other chemical containers require durable chemical labels with adhesives tailored to the surface and operating conditions. Depending on the application, materials resistant to chemicals, solvents, water, UV rays, and weather can be used.
What are BS-5609 labels, and when are they required?
BS 5609 is an important standard for the durability of self-adhesive labels under maritime conditions. Labeling solutions tested in accordance with this standard are particularly relevant for chemicals and hazardous materials, where high standards for adhesion, legibility, and durability are required during transport and storage.
Can chemical labels be produced with UFI, lot numbers, barcodes, and Data Matrix codes?
Yes. Chemical labels can be produced with UFI, individual batch and lot numbers, barcodes, QR codes, or Data Matrix codes, and other variable data. This allows chemicals and containers to be uniquely identified and tracked throughout production, logistics, and the supply chain.
Which labels are suitable for multilingual hazardous material information?
For extensive or multilingual information, booklet, multi-layer, and peel-off labels provide additional space within a limited area. They are particularly well-suited for chemical products where regulatory labeling, safety information, and multiple language versions must be combined on a single container.
How do I find the right chemical-resistant label for my application?
Key factors include the container material and surface, the chemical contained within, potential contact with solvents, temperature, humidity, weather conditions, shipping conditions, and the required service life. Robos-labels assists buyers in selecting and qualifying a material-adhesive combination that is both technically and economically suitable.
What should buyers look for when selecting a supplier of chemical labels?
In addition to price and availability, material expertise, durability, quality management, traceability, and experience with GHS/CLP and hazardous materials labeling are crucial. An experienced system supplier can tailor the material, adhesive, printing, variable data, and finishing to the specific chemical application.
