Application and use

Thanks to its special treatment the matt surface of HERMA PETP white matt offers an excellent print quality in screen, letterpress and flexo printing.

The film may also be printed with laser and thermal transfer printers and it is possible to write on the film with ballpoint pens, pencils etc.

HERMA PETP white matt is perfect for production of labels that have to be resistant to high temperature and moisture surroundings (e.g. type plates).

Thanks to its extremely high adhesion adhesive 64B is particularly suitable for labelling strongly curved, rough, dusty or oily surfaces as well as rubber products and containers for chemicals. In combination with HERMA PE laser this adhesive is suitable for labelling chemical barrels after filling them at a maximum temperature of 180 °C.In spite of its high coating weight this newly designed adhesive offers excellent die-cutting characteristics. Adhesive 64B is particularly resistant to light, heat and ageing.

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

Processing

Good die-cutting characteristics on all usual machines. As part of a self-adhesive compound HERMA PW (517) offers excellent die-cutting characteristics with all customary flatbed and rotary die-cutting tools.

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.

The shelf life is four years from date of production.

Regulations concerning contact with food

All ingredients of adhesive 64B comply with recommendation FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 64B 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 5 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Furthermore, the adhesive may be used for laminating plastic films. In this case, cut edge contact with food is harmless as far as the above mentioned adhesive is concerned (Declaration of no objection valid until 14.03.2026).

The paper liner complies with recommendation BfR XXXVI.
