Icpa RA thermoseal

The barcode 8906007200080 is associated with the ICPA RA Thermoseal product, which is a thermally activated adhesive label commonly used in medical, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of available information, limitations, and potential concerns:

Product Overview

• Type: Thermoseal adhesive label (likely for medical packaging, pharmaceutical blister packs, or sterile barrier applications).
• Manufacturer: ICPA (International Carton Packaging Association) or a licensed distributor, though the exact brand may vary by region. Some sources link this barcode to ICPA’s RA series, which includes thermosealable labels designed for heat-sealing to cartons or containers.
• Purpose: These labels are used to seal medical cartons, pharmaceutical packaging, or sterile products by activating the adhesive with heat (typically via a thermosealer machine). They are often sterile or sterile barrier-rated to maintain product integrity.

Key Features & Specifications

1. Adhesive Type:

   • Thermally activated (requires heat to bond).
   • May be permanent or removable depending on the variant (common in medical packaging).
   • Some versions are sterile (gamma-irradiated) for medical use.

2. Substrate:

   • Typically paper-based or polymer-coated for heat resistance.
   • May include barrier layers (e.g., aluminum foil or plastic) for moisture/vapor protection.

3. Applications:

   • Medical cartons (e.g., for IV bags, syringes, or surgical instruments).
   • Pharmaceutical blister packs (sealing individual doses).
   • Industrial packaging (less common, but possible for sensitive materials).
