Ashland and Ravenwood Packaging have reached an agreement naming Ashland the exclusive supplier of UV-curable coatings for Ravenwood linerless label applications in the Americas. The announcement was made during Label Expo 2016 at the Stephens Convention Center near Chicago.
Ashland's specialized coatings were developed for use on Ravenwood's coaters and applicators, and were qualified by the equipment producer at its testing facility in the United Kingdom.
“We are excited to be working alongside a quality organization like Ravenwood,” said David Hatgas, global business director, adhesives and coatings, Ashland. “Both companies are innovating in the label space and together this arrangement will help deliver consistently high-quality linerless labels to packaging customers.”
Ravenwood Packaging produces the Comac 500 coating machine, specifically designed to efficiently manufacture linerless labels to the correct specification required for Ravenwood’s Nobac applicators. The coater is a modular construction allowing the application of multiple release and adhesive lines. This also allows additional features to be added at a later date.
