Removable Adhesive is a pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows labels to be removed easily without residue or damaging the label. 

This type of adhesive is commonly used for applications where temporary labeling is needed, such as on product packaging, promotional materials, or temporary signage. It is also used for applications where the label needs to be repositioned or adjusted multiple times before final placement, such as in the labeling of laboratory specimens or in the organization of files and folders.

In the context of adhesive label terminology removable adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that allows a label to be easily removed from a surface without leaving any residue or damage behind.

Removable adhesives are designed to provide enough adhesion to keep the label in place during normal handling and use, but allow the label to be easily peeled away from the surface without tearing or leaving behind any adhesive residue. They typically have a lower level of tack than permanent adhesives, which helps to ensure easy removal.

There are different types of removable adhesives, including those that are water-based, solvent-based, or made from synthetic rubber. The choice of adhesive will depend on the specific application and the type of surface that the label will be applied to. It is important to choose the right type of removable adhesive to ensure that the label can be easily removed without damaging the surface or leaving behind any residue.
