Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP 50 transparent super tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods.

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

HERMA PP 50 transparent super tc is perfect for the production of optically pretentious, glossy transparent labels. It is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

The adhesive 72Hpw was developed for applications where the label has to be removed in warm caustic water (80 °C and 1-2% NaOH).72Hpw was specially developed for PET bottles, e.g. for the beverage, detergents, cosmetics and personal care, which can be recycled in standard industrial recycling plants. When the PET bottles are introduced into the recycling process, the label with adhesive is removed from the PET without leaving any residue so that the PET can be recycled cleanly.

HERMA PET has excellent properties in demanding applications. The high strength characteristics eliminate web breaks in high speed applications with narrow webs allowing high dispensing speeds. Compared to paper liners HERMA PET is not sensitive to moisture resulting less curl and excellent dispensing properties.

Processing

HERMA PET is recommended for self-adhesive compounds for which increased safety in die-cutting is required.

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 one year from date of production.
