Migration safety
Food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics: more and more industries wish to ensure that no adhesive components can migrate into their products. Until now, this usually required reducing adhesion. HERMA's multi-layer technology is a process that enables adhesives to possess both excellent adhesion and optimal migration characteristics. For label printers and users, this means safety without any compromises.
Important facts
In August 2016, the EU once again intensified the test procedure according to Commission Regulation 2016/1416. Please always make sure that the adhesive you use corresponds to these new requirements.
