Covinax 386-07 is a coater-ready surfactant stabilized vinyl acrylic product developed for use as a permanent pressure sensitive film label adhesive. Covinax 386-07 is a moderate shear product with good loop tack, and is used in vinyl, polyester, and other film and paper label applications. In addition, the dry film clarity, cold flow resistance and high cohesive strength of Covinax 386-07 permits it to be used as an overlaminating film adhesive. It is transfer coatable onto most release liners on rod, gravure or roll coaters. Covinax 386-07 is FDA compliant under 16CFR 1500.3 (C)(4).
