Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP 50 transparent super tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods.

This film is not intended for use in unprinted zigzag applications, in which the coated print surface is in contact with itself.

HERMA PP 50 transparent super tc is perfect for the production of optically pretentious, glossy transparent labels. It is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

The adhesive 62C was specially developed for the use of clear-on-clear applications. Special emphasis should be the extremely good resistance against whitening combined with a high level of transparency. In combination with a filmic face material the products container achieve a high-quality impression and is transparent to see the contents. Once applied the adhesive is insensitive against humidity, soaps and oil and therefore suits especially well for product labelling in food, beverage, hygiene and cosmetic industry. 62C features good resistance to light, heat and aging.

The 62C has a good wettability combined with good adhesion properties. In addition the 62C shows high cohesion together with low tendency to creep, which reduces the adhesive bleed and good final adhesion characteristics occur.

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

Processing
