Introducing TrueCut™ AT2550 An all-temperature adhesive, now available for prime paper applications
With its introduction earlier this year, Avery Dennison’s AT2550 adhesive has become an excellent sustainable choice for converters needing an alltemperature, pressure-sensitive solution for paper labeling. Carrying the “strong, broad, fast” mantle of our TrueCut line, it brings together the best performance attributes of some of our legacy all-temperature products while offering significant gains in sustainability. TrueCut AT2550 can help converters meet brand owners’ needs across a variety of applications. The adhesive’s availability with semi-gloss paper facestocks makes it a great choice for many food and grocery products.

The best of both worlds From a performance perspective, AT2550 combines the best properties of our two legacy alltemperature adhesives. With 30 percent less ooze than standard all-temperature adhesives, AT2550 results in cleaner rolls with less downtime and faster converting — a leading attribute of our AT20N adhesive. The new adhesive also delivers excellent performance across multiple substrates, including tight mandrels — a feature of our AT20 adhesive. And AT2550 offers the same initial tack, open time, and adhesion of the legacy products. For low temperature applications — such as warehouses, freight depots, laboratories, and food delivery packaging — AT2550 is a

great fit. Its minimum application temperature of -20 °F and service temperature range of -65 to +200 °F means the adhesive performs in a broader low temperature window. Serious sustainability … and no stickies Beyond its impressive performance characteristics, AT2550 offers some serious sustainability credentials. The product is part of our ClearIntent™ Portfolio of sustainable products, thanks to its reduced use of water and chemicals in manufacturing and improved recyclability. AT2550 is formulated without Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEOs) while using 10 percent fewer chemicals and 8 percent less water.
