BASF demonstrates that pressure-sensitive adhesives for labels can be fully compatible with today's recycling processes for PET bottles
Germany, March 31 -- BASF's UV-curable acrylic hotmelt acResin(R) UV 3532 has been approved by RecyClass for use on PET bottles, confirming its full compatibility with established European PET recycling processes under typical conditions as used in the assessment. During standard recycling operations, labels using acResin UV 3532 as pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) can be removed reliably, enabling clean PET streams and supporting high-quality recyclate. With the RecyClass approval of acResin UV 3532, BASF demonstrates that existing PSAs can also meet demanding recycling requirements while maintaining high performance in label applications.The cross-industry initiative RecyClass is a leading authority for recyclability assessment helping p...
