Madico unveils destructible PVC film for security applications

Madico Graphic Films, a UK-based supplier of specialist pressure sensitive, coated film products for durable label applications, has extended its range of tamper evident substrates for security marking requirements with the addition of a satin white destructible PVC film backed with a lay-flat sheet liner. Once applied, the destructible PVC (product ref: 03-126) offers ‘excellent destructibility and instant tamper evidence on a broad range of substrates, even when applied to low energy surfaces’, says the company. 

Upon tampering or attempted removal, the material fractures easily, thereby preventing subsequent re-application elsewhere. As such, the film enables printers to effectively serve the automotive, electronic and consumer goods sectors with a deterrent against warranty thefts, false insurance claims and counterfeiting. This makes the new film suitable for an array of applications, such as electronic security seals, fixed information/warning labels and asset tracking stickers.  

Madico’s new destructible PVC labelstock is said to offer excellent dimensional stability and superior UV, humidity and chemical resistance, as well as five year outdoor durability in temperature ranges from -40 deg C up to +85 deg C. The film also offers further security measures thanks to a coating of PAT1 acrylic adhesive. Offering good adhesion on a broad range of surfaces, the automotive-approved PATI exhibits low adhesive ooze combined with good chemical and elevated temperature shear resistance.  

Madico’s new satin white destructible PVC film is available from stock in 100 sheet packs, 1000mm x 700mm and 1000mm x 50M rolls, but can also be supplied in custom roll and sheet sizes. The release liner is a 130gsm blue polycoated kraft liner, selected for its lay flat and die-cutting properties.
