Application and use

HERMAlaser Recycling offers optimal printability and toner anchorage with all xerographic printing processes. Label sheets are suitable for large laser printers, desktop laser printers, copiers and a great number of inkjet printers. Due to its high degree of whiteness and its pure appearance HERMAlaser Recycling can hardly be distinguished from copy/laser papers based on primary pulp. Also its processability is comparable. HERMAlaser Recycling is bleached chlorine-free and has just the optical brighteners of the used recovered paper.

We recommend the production of narrow reels with a width of 217mm or a width of 434 mm for double-width production (original edges of the semi-finished rolls should not be adopted for sheet-stock). A possible curl in machine direction (especially towards the cores) may be adjusted by a "decurl bar" in the press. Water based inks may have an adverse influence on the flatness of the sheet stock. We therefore advise against use of water based inks especially when printing large areas.

The label paper has the following certificates:

- Blue Angel

- FSC Recycled 

- Nordic Swan

- Austrian Ecolabel 

- EU Ecolabel 

The adhesive 62Dpc is specially designed for A4 sheets, which are used in laser printers and in copiers (in xerographic printing processes). Thanks to the innovative multilayer (double-layer) technology it was possible to increase the cohesion and thus significantly reduce the adhesive bleed. An ideal feed through can be achieved as well as the impurities caused by adhesive bleed can be avoided by the use of the 62Dpc.The 62Dpc has an excellent resistance to aging, heat and light.

Processing

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 four years from date of production.

Regulations concerning contact with food

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62Dpc 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 21.04.2025).

Furthermore the self-adhesive labels with the adhesive 62Dpc can be used for labelling of blood bags (Expert's Opinion from April 21, 2021).
