Never Compromise on Performance
With New S2550 Adhesive
General-Purpose Permanent Adhesive Offers Improved Adhesion,
Cool Temp Tack and Outstanding High-Speed Converting
Tested and proven in multiple trials, the adhesive performs in
a broader low temperature window across a wide range of
surfaces, including corrugated, plastics, HDPE, LDPE and
glass.
While our previous generation of adhesives led the industry,
S2550 was engineered so converters and their customers
never have to compromise on application performance at
room or cold temperatures. With other general purpose
adhesives, low initial tack at the time of application in
temperatures below 40° F could cause the label to lift.
Lower Minimum Application Temperature (MAT)
The new Avery Dennison adhesive for Thermal Transfer labeling
compares favorably on HDPE to general purpose adhesives from
MACtac®(St-95), Green Bay Packaging (758M), and UPM Raflatac (RP51).

Avery Dennison has developed S2550, a high-performance
general purpose permanent adhesive, from the worldwide
leader in pressure-sensitive technology. S2550 was
purpose-built for applications to deliver better initial tack and
adhesion, especially at lower temperatures, without
sacrificing high-speed converting.

Key Features of our new S2550 adhesive technology:
Tack
Improved initial tack and adhesion
> At both cool and room temperature on key substrates
> Initial tack up to 5 times higher than the tested competition when applied at
32 ºF
> At room temperature, ultimate adhesion is more than 80% stronger than
the tested competition*
Temp
Better Cool Temp Adhesion
> Improved performance in cold, dry conditions
> Builds ultimate adhesion up to 8 times higher than the tested
competition when applied at 32º F
> Minimum Application Temperature down to 30º F (HDPE)
Speed
Great Converting
> Allows converting at the same or better speeds as industry-recognized
S2501 with the above benefits of better adhesion
