Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP silver tc offers an excellent print quality in all conventional printing methods like e.g. UV flexographic printing. HERMA PP silver tc is perfect for the production of optically demanding and decorative labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PP surfaces. HERMA PP silver tc is particularly suitable for labelling luxury products, cosmetics, for advertising and promotion, engine oils, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

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

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.
