Application and use

Thanks to its special topcoat the glossy surface of HERMA PE transparent tc gives a good print quality in conventional printing processes like e.g. UV flexo printing.

ERMA PE transparent tc can be used to produce visually demanding, glossy, transparent labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PE surfaces.

Thanks to the high flexibility of this material even curved surfaces and deformable packaging may be labelled without any problems.

 

The adhesive 62Xpc is specially developed for filmic face material. Through the use of 2-layer technology and ideally optimised layers, the conversion properties become excellent and the adhesion properties are above average. A good wettability combined with a high transparency of the adhesive layer give a visually appealing result. Once applied the adhesive is insensitive against humidity, soaps and oil and therefore suits specially well for product labelling in hygiene and cosmetic industry. It features good resistance to light, heat and aging.

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 transparent tc complies with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and (EU) No. 10/2011 on plastics and articles intended to come into contact with food. 

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62Xpc can be safely used for the back coating of labels for labelling of foodstuffs for storage at room temperature or 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. With regard to the results of the formulation evaluation and the migration analyses it can be derived that the adhesive grade does not have a harmful effect on the content of blood bags and that the requirements of the standard mentioned above are met in this case (EN ISO 3826-1 "Plastics Collapsible Containers for Human Blood and Blood Components, Part 1: Conventional containers, Paragraph 8.5 label requirements").
