Application and use

Thanks to its nacreous, glossy, corona pretreated surface HERMA PP white 40 offers an excellent print quality with all conventional printing methods. Before printing a corona pretreatment is recommended.

HERMA PP white 40 is perfect for the production of optically pretentious, 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 40 is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc. as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

Thanks to the high flexibility of this film labelling of curved surfaces is possible. An over lamination for safe dispensing is recommended.

The adhesive 62Xpc is specially developed for filmic face material. Through the use of 2-layer technology and ideally optimised layers, the conversion properties become excellent and the adhesion properties are above average. A good wettability combined with a high transparency of the adhesive layer give a visually appealing result. Once applied the adhesive is insensitive against humidity, soaps and oil and therefore suits specially well for product labelling in hygiene and cosmetic industry. It features good resistance to light, heat and aging.

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