When tearing off the heat-proof paper label, whether there will be residual glue mainly depends on the type of adhesive used in the label, the length of the pasting time and the material of the pasting surface.


First,Adhesive type

Three heat-proof paper labels usually use hot melt adhesive. Hot melt adhesive has good initial viscosity and can be firmly pasted on various materials. However, the characteristics of hot melt adhesive also determine that it may leave a certain residue under certain conditions. Especially when the label is pasted for a long time, or when it is pasted on a material with a rough surface or strong moisture absorption, the possibility of residual glue after tearing off the label will increase.


Second, paste time

The length of attaching time will also affect whether glue remains after removing the label. In general, the longer the pasting time, the stronger the bond between the adhesive and the pasting surface, and the greater the possibility of residual glue when tearing off the label.


Third, paste the surface material

The material of the paste surface is also an important factor affecting the residual glue. Some smooth surface, not easy to absorb moisture materials (such as glass, metal, etc.), tear off the label after the possibility of residual glue is relatively small. Some materials with rough surfaces and strong hygroscopic properties (such as cloth, wood, etc.) are more likely to leave glue residue after tearing off the label.


Fourth, the method of removing residual glue

If there is glue residue left after tearing off the thermal paper label, you can try to remove it using the following methods:

1.Heat with a hair dryer: Use the hot air of a hair dryer to heat residual glue, making it easier to tear off or wipe off when it softens.

2.Use hand cream or cooking oil: Apply a layer of hand cream or cooking oil on the residual glue, wait for a period of time and gently wipe off.

3.Use alcohol or vinegar: Dip a paper towel or rag in an appropriate amount of alcohol or vinegar, cover the remaining glue for a moment, and then gently scrape off with a plastic scraper or finger.

4.Use special cleaners: There are some cleaners on the market that are specifically designed to remove glue residue on labels, and can be used according to the product instructions.


Fifth,Conclusion

In summary, whether there will be residual glue when tearing off the heat-sensitive paper label is a problem affected by a variety of factors. In order to reduce the possibility of residual glue, it is recommended to choose a label product with moderate viscosity and reliable quality when using, and pay attention to the pasting time and the cleanliness of the surface. At the same time, if you encounter residual glue after tearing off the label, you can take appropriate removal methods to deal with it.
