What are Polyolefin Thermoplastics?

Polyolefin thermoplastics are the most predominantly used plastic in the world today due to their intrinsic durable, economic, and recycleable properties. Because they are so durable and chemical resistant, it makes polyolefins one of the most difficult to decorate plastics in the world.

What is a Labeling System?

A means to apply a label that conveys information about a product based on Branding, Information, Warning or Safety, Track & Traceability, or combination of.

How is Polyfuze labeling a more eco-friendly and sustainable solution?

They are fully compatible with fully recyclable polyolefin thermoplastics and thus can be recycled with them without removal.

Are Polymer Fusion Labels from Polyfuze permanent?

Polymer Fusion Labels are fully compatible with polyolefin thermoplastics and meld at a molecular level. They cannot be removed apart from damaging the product.

Where can I use Polyfuze labels?

All polyolefin thermoplastic products that require the most robust and durable labeling system available today.

Is Polyfuze the Right Partner for My Labeling Project?

If you produce or sell polyolefin thermoplastic products, Polyfuze is right for you.

What materials are used for Polyfuze labels?

Materials are proprietary but fully compatible with all polyolefin thermoplastic products.

What is the difference between adhesive labels and Polyfuze?

It’s the difference between “adhering” or “fusing” to a thermoplastic that doesn’t allow adhesion. Fusion is the only option for long-term durability for durable products made of polyolefin thermoplastics.

What is the benefit of Polymer fusion labeling?

Permanence and Durability for Branding, Safety / Warning, Track & Traceability, and other labeling needs.

What is the difference between heat transfer labels and Polyfuze?

Heat Transfers rely on heat activated adhesion to polyolefin thermoplastics that don’t accept adhesion which is why they fail. Polymer Fusion Labels from Polyfuze meld to these thermoplastics at a molecular level for long-term permanence that cannot be matched.

What is the difference between Hot Stamp labels and Polyfuze?

Hot Stamp Foils rely on heat activated adhesion to polyolefin thermoplastics that don’t accept adhesion which is why they fail. Polymer Fusion Labels from Polyfuze meld to these thermoplastics at a molecular level for long-term permanence that cannot be matched.

Do you manufacture recycling bin labels?

Yes! Along with several other types of labels that help with Branding, Safety / Warning, Track & Traceability, and more.

Are your labels weatherproof?

Yes. They are also harsh environment and chemical resistant.

How do I get a custom labeling quote?

Contact our Commercial Team today! What is the maximum label size you can print? 14” x 18” but can accommodate some larger sizes and continuous printing.

What is the expected life of polymer labeling?

We offer the label industries only Lifetime Guarantee that says that a Polymer Fusion Label will perform for the expected life-use of the durable polyolefin thermoplastic part it’s fused to.

Polymer Fusion Labeling

Home / Polymer Fusion Labeling

How They're Made:

Instead of standard off-the-shelf inks, incompatible substrates, unsuitable adhesives, and unreliable protective coatings, Polyfuze™ artisans utilize only high quality pigments and polymers that are then blended with Polymer Fusion Technology IP materials.

The result is a customized pigmented polymer designed to fuse permanently with durable polyolefin thermoplastic products, parts, and components for life use.

How They're Printed

100% compatible, 100% recyclable Polymer Fusion Technology “inks” are printed as a single, fully-compatible layer onto PET film (carrier only) to create customized Polymer Fusion Labels built to exact customer specifications.

Polyfuze™ uses Lean Manufacturing processes including Built-In Quality (BIQ) verification ensuring highest quality from production to shipment to customers around the world.

Polymer Fusion is the science of merging two separate polyolefin thermoplastics together (polyolefin label + polyolefin product, part, or component) utilizing melting point temperature, time, and pressure, to seamlessly produce a singular piece of polymer without the use of adhesives, tie-layers, bonding agents, or secondary surface treatments.

Once the fusion process is complete, the two polyolefin materials have combined to form one piece of seamless and flush polyolefin plastic with no change in durability or structural integrity.

How It Works

SEM Analysis:
Just How Permanent Is Polymer Fusion Labeling?

It’s one thing to make claims about label permanency for durable products made of polyolefin thermoplastics (like many high profile label suppliers do in marketing literature). It’s quite another to prove it!

To do this, Advanced MicroAnalytical Laboratory conducted SEM Analysis on claimed “permanent” In Mold Labeling, Hot Stamp Foil, and Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Labels vs. Polymer Fusion Labels.

Summary: Only Polymer Fusion Technology proved to integrate fully and completely at a molecular level.

SEM Analysis provides detailed, high resolution imaging capabilities at a very wide range of magnifications from 10x to 1Mx magnification to gain structural insight.
