Herma to show new adhesives at Labelexpo

Herma will show its HermaperfectTack adhesive at Labelexpo Europe on stand 11R100. 

Multi-layer coating technology is used to apply an additional, second layer, which further enhances the initial tack of labels applied in testing conditions, such as low temperatures and moisture. The second layer influences the flow behavior of the adhesive and ensures that it bonds faster and better with the surface to which the label is being attached. One growing field of application is the blow-on method of applying labels to pre-packed food. The HermaperfectTack 62Gpt adhesive has been tested to ISEGA standard for direct food contact. The adhesive layer is suitable for direct contact with dry, moist and fatty foodstuffs (reduction factor 4). 

Herma will also exhibit Lam, a label paper for printing with a CO₂ laser (black color change). Since CO₂ laser printing is a contactless technology, the new Herma material cannot be damaged, and neither smudgeable nor volatile particles arise. The use of a CO₂ laser allows the labels to be individually inscribed anywhere in the process – within or outside of a production line and either before or after the labels are dispensed. Thanks to its protective coating, this material is suitable for all applications that call for a non-smudge and scratchproof label paper that also resists oil and grease. Herma Lam is suitable for demanding and dusty production environments. Given that inscription with a CO₂ laser is a low-maintenance operation, downtimes can be reduced.
