Abstract
A pressure wash resistant label comprising: (A) A topcoat with a first facial surface having a surface roughness in a range of 10 micro-inches (μ-in) (0.254 microns (μm) and 70 μ-in (1.778 μm); (B) A facesheet in contact with the topcoat and comprising a polymer with a Tg of at least 65° C.; (C) An optional detectable layer, if present, in contact with the facesheet and comprising metal particles; (D) An adhesive having a shear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT) of at least 120° C. and in contact with the optional detectable layer if present and if not present, then in contact with the facesheet; and (E) An optional release liner, if present, in contact with the adhesive.

A label comprising:
- (A) A topcoat having first and second facial surfaces, the first facial surface having a surface roughness in a range of 10 micro-inches (μ-in) (0.254 microns (μm) and 100 μ-in (2.54 μm);
- (B) A facesheet having first and second facial surfaces and comprising a polymer with a Tg of at least 65° C., the first facial surface of the facesheet in contact with the second facial surface of the topcoat;
- (C) An adhesive having first and second facial surfaces and a shear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT) of at least 120° C., the first facial surface of the adhesive in contact with the second facial surface of the facesheet;
- and
- (D) An optional release liner with first and second facial surfaces, the first facial surface of the optional release liner in contact with the second facial surface of the adhesive.
A label comprising:
- (A) A topcoat having first and second facial surfaces, the first facial surface having a surface roughness in a range of 10 micro-inches (μ-in) (0.254 microns (μm) and 70 μ-in (1.778 μm);
- (B) A facesheet having first and second facial surfaces and comprising a polymer with a Tg of at least 65° C., the first facial surface of the facesheet in contact with the second facial surface of the topcoat;
- (C) A detectable layer having first and second facial surfaces and comprising metal particles having an average particle size of between 5 microns and 40 microns, the first facial surface of the detectable layer in contact with the second facial surface of the facesheet;
- (D) An adhesive having first and second facial surfaces and a shear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT) of at least 120° C., the first facial surface of the adhesive in contact with the second facial surface of the detectable layer;
- and
- (E) An optional release liner with first and second facial surfaces, the first facial surface of the optional release liner in contact with the second facial surface of the adhesive.
