Neschen manufactures a product called Gudy-870 which uses an acrylic
adhesive on a silicon paper carrier. I've seen it listed on 10m
rolls up to 60cm wide. Gudy 870 has passed the Image Permanence
Institute's "Photo Activity Test" (PAT), and would be very suitable
for your uses. I believe the PAT is comparable to the oddy test.

suppliers are Gaylord Bros, University Products, Light Impressions.
Not sure about Europe.
