Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the matt surface of HERMA PP white matt tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods like e.g. UV flexographic printing. Furthermore the film is perfectly suited for subsequent printing with thermal transfer printers. Thanks to its matt surface it has a perfect barcode legibility.

 

HERMA PP white matt tc can be used for labelling cosmetics, cleaning agents, beverage and food products as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather like e.g. in horticulture. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PP surfaces.

Adhesive 62K is specially developed for deep-freeze application. Tack is very high on critical substrates like PE-films even at very low temperatures. 62K delivers an outstanding tack even on surfaces slightly covered by moisture or ice. At room temperature tack is extremely high on most surfaces. The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

Processing

Excellent die-cutting characteristics on all usual 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 PP white matt tc is in compliance with Commission Regulations (EU) no. 1935/ 2004 and (EU) no. 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food with all amendments: Commission Regulation (EU) no. 321/2011; (EU) no. 1282/2011; (EU) no. 1183/2012; (EU) no. 202/2014; (EU) no. 865/2014; (EU) no. 174/2015), (EU) no. 1416 / 2016; (EU) no. 752/2017; (EU) no. 79/ 2018; (EU) no. 213 /2018; (EU) no. 831 /2018; (EU) no 37/ 2019; (EU) no. 988/2019; (EU) no. 1338/ 2019 and (EU) no. 1245/2020 as well as Regulation (EC) no. 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and  also US FDA 21 CFR 175.300, US FDA 21 CFR175.320 and US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520.

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62K 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 and fatty foodstuffs that can be assigned a correction factor of at least 3 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 provided that the ratio of contact surface related to the quantity of foodstuff does not exceed 1 dm²/kg. For the contact with moist foodstuffs, the ratio of contact surface related to the quantity of foodstuff is limited to 0,5 dm²/kg foodstuff. The contact with dry, non-fatty foodstuff is possible without restriction.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 06.04.2025).

The paper liner complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
