HERMA label adhesives

HERMA has launched two label adhesive products.

HERMAsuperTack (63Vst) is a completely resin-free adhesive for labels that require strong initial tack. The adhesive offers low migration levels and features correction factor 2, thereby reaching the approval for dry, moist and fatty foods.

Suitable for labels applied to whole sausages or raw ham without a barrier layer made of film, the multilayer technology of the adhesive dispenses with resins without compromising initial tack. The product is temperature resistant, so it is suitable at temperatures below -20°C. It is also suitable for foodstuffs that have been recently heated, such as boiled chicken.

HERMAsuperPerm (63S) enables even conventional labels to be used to implement tamper-evident solutions, allowing users to equip packaging for pharmaceuticals as well as other products with tamper-evident labels.

The final adhesion of the product is so high that sealing labels equipped with the adhesive cannot be removed from lacquered pharmaceutical packaging, as well as other polar and non-polar surfaces such as paper, cardboard, plastics and steel, without destruction of the label or the packaging surface.  Elaborate special materials like self-destructive films, holograms, cellophane wraps or folding box designs are thus no longer required.

Resistant to ageing, water, hot air and various solvents, the adhesive materials can be easily processed in spite of relatively thick adhesive coating.
