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.

The labels can be printed with conventional ink or using thermal transfer ribbon and will remain legible under all conditions and are effective in a range of labeling applications on oily surfaces including labels for hydraulic hoses, pipes and pumps, automotive and food processing.
Using this oil resistant and oil absorbing labeling material means there’s no need for degreasing of surface areas. This saves considerable production time and cleaning material costs.
