Application and use

The machine-finished surface of the HERMAwhite offers an excellent quality of the imprint with all conventional printing methods. The material is equally suitable for thermal transfer printing and is thus universally applicable. It is also perfect for laser printers.

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

The adhesive 62P is designed for applications where the label has to be removed without residue. Good results can be reached from 35 °C.

The washing time depends on the label material, the substrate on which the label is applied, the printing and the washing parameters as water temperature, water pressure and the used washing additives.

The adhesive shows good results on PE and PP reusable boxes and buckets, which are also used at low temperatures.

Typical areas of application for this coated kraft liner are computer labels for laser printers (continuous or sheet stock), which require higher stiffness.

Processing

As part of a self-adhesive compound HERMA KW (527) offers good die-cutting characteristics with all customary flatbed and rotary label cutters.

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.
