Acucote has achieved BS5609 Section 2 compliance. This certification includes the evaluation of two film products: Inkjet Kimdura with P50 permanent acrylic adhesive and 2.6 mil White Premium Thermal Transfer Polypropylene with P50 permanent acrylic adhesive.

Section 2 tests the durability of the label material and adhesive under conditions of marine exposure, temperature variations, weathering and exposure to salt spray and sunlight.
Section 2 compliance is for blank labelstocks and does not include print testing covered under Section 3. 

Acucote, located in Graham, NC, USA, manufactures pressure sensitive products, along with stock inventory programs and custom capabilities that offer a diverse selection of adhesives, facestocks and silicone release systems.
