Application and use

HERMAfelt white brut is ideal for labelling of wine, spirit and other beverage bottles.

HERMAfelt white brut is suitable for all traditional printing methods. Due to the textured surface of the label paper, best printing results can be achieved by using printing methods with a conformable printing plate. For the printing of very small and sophisticated elements offset printing is recommended.

Suitability tests under application-specific conditions are recommended.

The pulp for this paper is from FSC® certified forests and other controlled sources. 

 

Thanks to its extremely high adhesion adhesive 64B is particularly suitable for labelling strongly curved, rough, dusty or oily surfaces as well as rubber products and containers for chemicals. In combination with HERMA PE laser this adhesive is suitable for labelling chemical barrels after filling them at a maximum temperature of 180 °C.In spite of its high coating weight this newly designed adhesive offers excellent die-cutting characteristics. Adhesive 64B is particularly resistant to light, heat and ageing.

Typical uses for this biaxially stretched polyester film are high-speed labelling machines with optical or mechanical scanning.

Processing

Good die-cutting characteristics on all usual machines. In a self-adhesive compound HERMA PET offers excellent die-cutting characteristics with all usual flatbed and rotary die-cutting machines.

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 64B comply with recommendation FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 64B 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 5 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Furthermore, the adhesive may be used for laminating plastic films. In this case, cut edge contact with food is harmless as far as the above mentioned adhesive is concerned (Declaration of no objection valid until 14.03.2026).
