Coding, Labelling and Product Identification for Chemical Applications

The Australian chemical industry comprises a wide array of sectors, ranging from agriculture and mining to healthcare and cosmetics. Consequently, there is a growing demand for customised and precise solutions aimed at tracking, monitoring, ensuring traceability, and enhancing product safety through cutting-edge technology. Recognising the crucial role of accurate chemical labellingin compliance and safety, the chemical production process in Australia has evolved to incorporate technologies such as Continuous Inkjet and Drop-on-Demand to further enhance these applications.

Labelling for consumable chemical products

Labelling

Safety and hazardous chemical labels primarily exist to inform and warn individuals about the potential hazards associated with a chemical product and dangerous good labels. Physical labels provide critical safety information to protect the general public and the environment. Our range of label applicators can be employed for both simple and complex solutions, facilitating the application of chemical labels to various surface types, including primary labels on retail products of all shapes and sizes.

 
 
 

Coding

In the realm of household chemical products, the identification process has significantly advanced through non-contact printing methods. Continuous Inkjet technology offers notable advantages in terms of speed and efficiency within the manufacturing and packaging processes of household chemicals. It seamlessly integrates crucial compliance information such as batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and barcodes, thereby ensuring accurate and streamlined product identification.

 

Matthews range of Continuous Inkjet solutions are ideal for chemical applications due to:

  • 1. Ability to code on a wide variety of packaging types – plastic containers, bags, metal containers, specialty, cases.
  • 2.Wide range of printing speeds.
  • 3. Wide range of ink colours and contrast available.
  • 4. Ability to print on the product or end-of-line secondary packaging (such as carton and tray coding).
  • 5. Easily networked into other packaging line equipment using our iDSnet software
 

Labelling for Industrial Chemicals

Within the industrial chemicals industry, much like in the mining, agriculture, and water treatment sectors, efficient and accurate chemical labelling and marking are imperative for product identification, traceability, and regulatory compliance. This is where Drop-on-Demand (DOD) printing technology comes into play.DOD technology's minimal maintenance requirement is ideal for these industries, ensuring consistent and reliable chemical labelling in the challenging environments, where dust, shocks, and vibrations are prevalent. This durability and adaptability, coupled with a reduced ink wastage feature, make DOD printers a preferred choice for these industries, ensuring consistent and compliant chemical labelling and marking.
