Application and use

HERMAtherm P is phenol-free and can be used for applications requiring increased resistance to moistue, solvents or grease, e.g. for weight labels (meat packers, supermarkets) or for price marking labels (excellent presentation of EAN and UPC codes). Applications in dry and humid surroudings are possible. For applications on soft PVC films individual tests are recommended because contact with plasticizers might have a negative impact on the thermal imprint.

Direct thermal printing is possible with speeds up to 200 mm/s.

The material can be printed by all conventional roll printing methods. The inks should be suitable for thermal paper (solvent-free), a consultation of the ink supplier is recommended. Complete curing of the ink must be ensured. Due to the thermal sensitive characteristics the web temperature during curing should not exceed 50 °C. In general, it is advisable to carry out pretests under customer-specific conditions to ensure suitability.

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

Adhesive 62Dps shows good adhesion specially on packaging films, also at low temperatures. Due to the very high initial tack 62Dps is particularly well suited for high-speed dispensing systems. Because of its multi-layer construction 62Dps shows extremely low tendency for migration and is suitable for direct contact also with fatty foodstuff with limitation (correction factor). 62Dps is less suitable for curved surfaces.

The adhesive has a good aging, heat and light resistance.

The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

The shelf life is two years from date of production.

Regulations concerning contact with food

The thermal paper grade HERMAtherm P (Grade 923) according to the sample material is physiologically and toxicologically safe and may therefore be used in printers and scales for the marking of goods. However, HERMAtherm P may only have direct contact to foodstuffs which are washed and/or peeled before consumption (ISEGA Research and Development Institute, Aschaffenburg).

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62Dps 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 25.09.2027).

The paper complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
