Application and use

HERMA PE white PRINT combines the high print quality of coated paper with the durability of PE films. With HERMA PE white PRINT an excellent print quality can be achieved in all traditional printing methods such as flexo, letterpress, screen and offset printing. Furthermore the film is perfectly suited for subsequent inscription with matrix or thermal transfer printers using resin or resin/wax ribbons. With special wax or solvent based inks also inkjet imprint is possible.

This white, matt PE film is perfect for permanent label application both indoor and outdoor. When labelling a PE surface the film may be recycled together with the packing.

Due to the reduced inner stability the film splits when removing it from the labelled surface. It is thus often used as a safety label.

Thanks to its aggressive adhesive characteristics adhesive 63B is particularly suitable for critical surfaces such as cardboard and ampoules. The adhesive is highly water-resistant and is suitable for labelling cold and humid surfaces. It is extremely resistant to light, heat and ageing.

 

The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

Processing

Excellent die-cutting characteristics on all customary machines. As part of a self-adhesive compound HERMA PW (517) offers excellent die-cutting characteristics with all customary flatbed and rotary die-cutting tools.

Storage conditions

Storing at a temperature of 20 ± 5 °C, a relative humidity of 45 ± 5 % and a dark storage is recommended. Moisture, heat and direct sunlight have to be avoided.

The shelf life is two years from date of production.

Regulations concerning contact with food

HERMA PE white PRINT (grade 810) according to the sample material is considered safe to use for food packaging and may stand in direct contact to dry, aqueous, non-acid and fatty foodstuffs (ISEGA Research and Development Institute, Aschaffenburg).

All ingredients of adhesive 63B comply with recommendation FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 63B can be safely used for the back coating of labels for the labelling of foodstuffs for storage at room temperature and below. It may be used in direct contact with dry, moist and fatty foodstuffs that can be assigned a correction factor of at least 4 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Furthermore, the adhesive may be used for laminating various materials. In this case, cut edge contact with food is harmless as far as the above mentioned adhesive is concerned. It must be ensured that the relevant migration limits are complied with by the laminated packaging (Declaration of no objection valid until 29.11.2025).

Furthermore the self-adhesive labels with the adhesive 63B can be used for labelling of blood bags (Expert's Opinion from Nomvember 11, 2021).

The paper liner complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
