ACTIVATING M-0006 ACTIV-STRIP LABELS

M-0006 Activ-Strip labels contain an oxygen absorbing component that will work effectively at 0% RH.  The component is primarily activated through the application of UV light.  The addition of heat or the passage of time will also eventually activate the label causing it to absorb oxygen; however the rate of activation can most effectively be controlled through the use of UV energy.

The activation of the label is most effective immediately prior to the label being put into the final packaging.  The mechanism of activation does require oxygen to be present and available to the label in order to get full activation. Once the label has been fully activated it is possible to deprive the label of oxygen for a period of time and then as oxygen is reintroduced into the package the label will maintain its activation level and continue to absorb to its full capacity.

If the label is activated and immediately rewound onto a roll so that the lower layers of the label are starved of oxygen it is possible that the full activation mechanism will not take place and the label will remain dormant. 

To activate the label it should be passed under a UV light source.  The most effective bulb type is a UV-H bulb.   The label should receive a combined 1,000 millijoules/cm2 of energy in the UV-B and UV-C wavelength ranges.  This can be measured using a power puck or similar device that can be passed under the UV light and will measure the level of energy in both the UV-B and UV-C ranges.  The two numbers are then added to get the total energy exposure level.
