Application and use

The cast-coated high gloss surface of HERMAlux offers a perfect printing quality in all conventional printing processes. Tests with the applied printing inks are recommended. HERMAlux is also suitable for thermal transfer printing. Resin tapes are recommended.

HERMAlux is particularly suitable for high-quality labels with especially demanding multicolour printing.

The pulp for this paper comes from FSC® certified forest management and other controlled sources.

The PSA 62W is designed specifically for glass bottle labeling.Excellent ice-bucket-resistance combined with a very high adhesion even at low temperatures has also been implemented as the excellent processing for die-cutting-, printing- and labeling-processes.Thus with 62W sophisticated label formats can be realized and can be applied at high speeds even at low temperatures.

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 (525) 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

This paper is approved according to the BfR Recommendation XXXVI. It may stand in direct contact with dry and non-fatty foodstuffs.

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62W 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 27.09.2025).

The paper complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
