Situations exist where a manufacturer wants to prevent certain data from being removed from the product. Destructible vinyl is a synthetic material ideal for this situation. By design it is, very tedious to remove. Accidental chipping or gouging of the label does not compromise the entire surface and it is unaffected by humidity.
Destructible vinyl is the mainstay of label stocks used to prevent a label from being moved after application. Destructible vinyl is manufactured with no "grain" to the material, causing easy tearing. Labels manufactured from this vinyl cannot be removed and reapplied without complete destruction.
