Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP white extra tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods like e.g. UV flexographic printing.

In combination with the appropriate adhesive, this product is perfect for applications where the removability of the label is required.

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

HERMA PP white extra tc is perfect for the production of optically demanding, glossy, non-transparent labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PP surfaces. The nacreous look of the film adds an exquisite touch to the labels.

HERMA PP white extra tc is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

Adhesive 62K is specially developed for deep-freeze application. Tack is very high on critical substrates like PE-films even at very low temperatures. 62K delivers an outstanding tack even on surfaces slightly covered by moisture or ice. At room temperature tack is extremely high on most surfaces. The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

Regulations concerning contact with food

HERMA PP white extra tc is in compliance with Commission Regulations (EC) no. 1935/2004 and (EU) no. 10/2011 as amended on plastics and articles intended to come into contact with food as well as of Regulat ion (EC) no. 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. 

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

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 62K 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 and fatty foodstuffs that can be assigned a correction factor of at least 3 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 provided that the ratio of contact surface related to the quantity of foodstuff does not exceed 1 dm²/kg. For the contact with moist foodstuffs, the ratio of contact surface related to the quantity of foodstuff is limited to 0,5 dm²/kg foodstuff. The contact with dry, non-fatty foodstuff is possible without restriction.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 05.05.2027).

The paper liner complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
