Labels are an important identification and compliance tool in many industries where the surfaces to be labeled are lubricated with oil. The automotive and manufacturing industries are good examples of this. This has traditionally presented a real challenge for labeling because oily and greasy surfaces are notoriously difficult to apply. Our oil absorbing labels offer the perfect solution to this problem.

How do oil absorbent labels work?

Our this oil absorbing labeling material uses a unique adhesive to enable labels to be directly applied to oily surfaces. The adhesive absorbs the oil, ensuring the labels stay firmly in place.
