An advanced, PFAS-free self-adhesive solution.

Lecta Self‑​Adhesives, a leader in the development of self‑adhesive materials, expands its portfolio of barrier solutions with the launch of Adestor Gloss GP PFAS‑free, specifically designed to meet the demands of the food industry. With over 50 years of experience, the Adestor brand has cemented its leadership in the self‑adhesive label sector through its continued focus on quality, innovation, and commitment to the environment.

Adestor Gloss GP PFAS‑free, available upon request with FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody forest certification​, is a high‑performance technical solution that offers excellent resistance to grease and oils. The formula does not include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in keeping with current European regulations and the increasingly rigorous environmental and health requirements of the packaging sector.

This new self‑adhesive product is intended specifically for the labelling of food products such as cured meats, cheeses, ready meals, and oils—applications where an efficient barrier to greasy substances is essential to ensure both functional performance and product safety.

"At Lecta Self‑Adhesives, we are fully committed to developing solutions that address today's technical challenges while contributing to environmental protection,"says Roger Puente Vila‑Masana, Business Development & Product Manager Director at Lecta Self‑Adhesives. "With Adestor Gloss GP PFAS‑free, we are taking a decisive step toward safer, more responsible labelling that meets market expectations".

The entire Adestor range is produced in accordance with the following standards: Environmental Management (ISO 14001 and EMAS), Energy Efficiency (ISO 50001), Quality (ISO 9001) and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001).
