Herma reveals two ultra-clear transparent OPP films

Having already established a reputation with the PP films and clear-on-clear adhesive materials, Herma set itself the goal of supplying users with even more compelling technologies from the new coating plant at its substantially expanded headquarters in Stuttgart. The two new adhesive materials are joining the ranks of the standard products developed for no-label-look applications.

Herma PP transparent tc (grade 885) features the liner Herma PET 565, which has a caliper of a 30µm; and HERMA PP 50 transparent super tc (grade 886) is combined with the 23µm liner Herma PET 560.

The new additions comply with the large majority of processing requirements, including high-speed dispensing and elevated die-cutting reliability. With regards to label production, the two grades deliver high print quality with all conventional printing techniques.

Apart from lending the product additional appeal, the new adhesive is insensitive to moisture, soaps and oil, and therefore especially suitable for product labels in the food, drink and cosmetic sectors. The adhesive 62C also offers especially good resistance to light, heat and ageing. In labelling applications, it is characterized by favorable flow behavior and reliable adhesion, the company said in a statement.

‘High cohesion, coupled with a low creep tendency, contributes to its overall outstanding processability,’ said Ralf Drache, sales director at Herma. ‘The high internal force that holds together the adhesive layer effectively averts the nuisance of adhesive bleed. This ensures reliable processing in the production environment, without exposing the user to any compromises as regards initial tack and final adhesion.

‘The two new products extend our standard range in a market segment in which our customers can harness the additional potential as long as they have access to an especially reliable and dependable adhesive material. By way of innovative solutions from our new plant we are giving customers every opportunity to reap the rewards.’
