Removable Questions and Answers
Removable labeling can be confusing. Here are a few questions and answers
you might find helpful before considering what to select for your next removable
labeling project.
• What is the label being applied to/how is it to be used? Depending on
the substrate/texture, you may need varying degrees of aggressiveness for the
removable adhesive to adhere but still be removable. Learn about an adhesive’s
aggressiveness in the arrow charts located in the paper and film sections.

R3500/40#SCK
• At what temperature will the label be applied and exposed? Colder application
temperatures will require a higher tack removable adhesive, one that has cold temperature
properties. The performance charts (located in the paper and film sections) show application
and service temperatures ranges.
• Is chemical resistance important? If the label is to be used in a laboratory
environment, you may need an aggressive removable adhesive. For example, a
solvent-based adhesive will be more resistant to chemicals found in a laboratory
environment.
• Are special adhesives needed if long-term removal is required?
Typically for long-term removability, you will require an ultra-removable
adhesive, like the Avery Dennison UR3. While being able to adhere well to
most substrates, it offers long-term removability that appeals to customers
seeking such a solution.
• How long do removable adhesives remain removable? That depends,
what will the label be applied to and what are the storage conditions? An
unconditioned environment can potentially cause a removable adhesive to
‘tighten’ or become permanent prematurely. In this case, a film removable may
be more suitable for the application instead of a paper removable because a film
facestock adds strength to the pressure-sensitive construction. If you are seeking a
long-term removable these can remain active for more than three months.
• Can a facestock affect removability? Yes, a film facestock adds strength to the pressuresensitive construction, allowing for greater peel force when removing a label from a substrate in conditions
where a paper facestock would tear. It is suggested the label construction is tested for the specific application.
The portfolio contains 35 label constructions featuring nine adhesives that include
technologies such as microsphere, solvent acrylic, emulsion acrylic and hot melt
rubber. Designed to perform in specific applications on various substrates, the
portfolio’s constructions provide the versatility you need.

Removable Adhesives for Paper Components
UR3
Ultra-removable adhesive featuring a consistent level of adhesion, as well as long-term removability and
repositionability across a variety of substrates (should be tested for suitability on curved surfaces). Fasson® UR3
remains removable for months with “peel and reseal” characteristics that provide consistent, secure positioning and
clean removability. An excellent choice for office product and variable information applications.
R423
Removable adhesive featuring long-term removability, and excellent diecutting and stripping characteristics.
Particularly suited for wallpaper promotional labels and shelf marking.
R128
General-purpose, removable rubber-based adhesive with high initial tack, internal strength and stable adhesion.
R128 is recommended where clean removability is of primary importance. Adhesive can be used on a variety of
substrates including glass, metal and plastic.
R5195
General purpose removable adhesive featuring moderate initial tack and minimal adhesion build over time. Its
consistent level of adhesion and long-term removability make it suitable for applications on substrates such as glass
and plastics. Proven successful for shelf marking and tote marking used in logistical tracking.

Common Removable Adhesive Applications
• Credit/Debit Cards: UR3
• Binders/Vinyl: R423 or R5195
• Removable Bumper Stickers: R423 with the requirement of a layflat liner
• Chemical Resistance: R5195
• Wood: We do not recommend that you label unfinished or finished wood as adhesive residue can stain the wood.
It is recommended to label a less visible surface and test several solutions due to the variability in the varnishes
and stains used for wood.
