GHS Hazard Label – Waterproof (BS5609 Style)



Chemical hazard labels must remain readable throughout a product’s lifecycle—during transport, outdoor storage, handling, and exposure to water or chemicals. Standard paper or non-certified labels degrade quickly, peel off, or lose print clarity when exposed to moisture, leading to safety risks and regulatory non-compliance. Anaika offers waterproof GHS hazard label solutions engineered in line with BS5609 principles, using durable synthetic films and adhesives that maintain label integrity, legibility, and adhesion in harsh chemical environments.
