Application and use

The semi-gloss coated surface of "HERMAsilver matt reverse coated" offers good printability in conventional label printing methods (e.g. UV-flexo) as well as in thermal transfer printing. A verification of ink/ribbon suitability is recommended.

Due to its total opacity the material completely obscures the labelled surface. It is highly conformable and may therefore be used on flat as well as on curved surfaces. The aluminium layer on the back side of the label paper serves as barrier and prevents migration of contaminants from the labelled surface or ingredients of the adhesive into the label material.

Therefore "HERMAsilver matt reverse coated" is suitable for the labelling of tyres.

Adhesive 94C is characterized by extremely high adhesion to a great variety of surfaces, even critical substrates such as packing films, tyres or rough surfaces. The adhesive is perfectly suited for col d-storage applications on cold and humid surfaces. The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

Processing
