Herma says innovative adhesives based on multi-layer technology are contributing to significant growth in the films segment of itsadhesive materials division.
"The multi-layer concept allows us to overcome challenges that have generally arisen in the past when processing films," explains Herma managing director DrThomas Baumgärtner. "We have thus been able to lower substantially the risk of adhesive bleeding. Likewise, the level of contamination of the cutting dies is significantly reduced in the case of films with a multi-layer adhesive.
"For all label printers, these are important considerations. This has made itself felt for some time now by way of increased demand for our film label material."
The company now is pressing ahead with the further expansion of its film range, with two new poly¬pro¬pylene (PP) films and a new polyolefin (PO) film which are available with immediate effect.
The PP grades are glossy, biaxially-oriented films with a special surface for good printability. They are available in two versions: Hermaflex transparent and Hermaflex white. Both films offer superior diecutting and dispensing properties thanks to their structure. Having undergone corona pretreatment, they achieve high print quality with all conventional printing methods.
The other new addition - HermaPO Laser - is a white, matt, filled polyolefin film specially developed for use with both black and white, and colour laser printers. In conjunction with suitable inks, its matt surface delivers high-quality printed images with all conventional printing methods.
