Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP white super tc offers an excellent quality of the imprint in conventional printing methods like like e.g. UV flexographic printing.This film is not intended for use in unprinted zigzag applications, in which the coated print surface is in contact with itself.

HERMA PP white super tc is perfect for the production of optically pretentious, glossy, non-transparent labels. The nacreous look of the film adds an exquisite touch to the labels. This BOPP film is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

The adhesive 62Gpt shows a very high tack even on cold surfaces down to -10 °C. Due to the high initial tack even on moist surfaces 62Gpt is particularly suited for labelling polar and nonpolar surfaces such as plastic containers, film wrappings and other packaging materials. The 62Gpt suits especially well for fast running dispensers, in which the initial tack has to be built up extremely quickly as f.ex. when the labels are blown on the substrate.Once labelled the adhesive is highly waterproof.

HERMA PET has excellent properties in demanding applications. The high strength characteristics eliminate web breaks in high speed applications with narrow webs allowing high dispensing speeds. Compared to paper liners HERMA PET is not sensitive to moisture resulting less curl and excellent dispensing properties.

Processing

Excellent die-cutting characteristics on all customary machines. HERMA PET is recommended for self-adhesive compounds for which increased safety in die-cutting is required.

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 PP white super tc is in compliance with Commission Regulation (EG) no. 1935/2004 and (EU) no. 10/2011 on plastic materials an articles intended to come into contact with food (with all amendments: Commission Regulation (EU) no. 321/2011, no. 1282/2011, no. 1183/2012, no. 202/2014, no. 174/2015, no. 1416/2016, 752/2017, no. 79/2018, no. 213/2018, no. 831/2018, no. 37/2019, no. 988/2019, no. 1338/2019 and no. 1245/2020) as well as US FDA 21 CFR 175.300, US FDA 21 CFR175.320 and US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520.

All ingredients of adhesive 62Gpt comply with recommendation BfR XIV or FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62Gpt 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 3 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 10.10.2025).

HERMA PET (565) complies with regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 on plastics and articles intended to come into contact with food.
