HERMA at LabelExpo 2013: to Launch HERMAperfectPeel Acrylic-based Adhesives

Producing peel off labels even for critical surfaces is now possible without having to make any compromises in terms of their visual and physical resistance. The new HERMAperfectPeel adhesive range, which is being launched for the first time at LabelExpo 2013 (Hall 11, Stand R100) is the material of choice from now on. The adhesives 42Lpp and 42Upp are completely free of plasticizers - in contrast to the popular rubber-based adhesives, which were previously often used for this application. This means that no plasticizers attack the substrate and label paper to which adhesive is to be applied or migrate through it. The adhesives peelability is designed for different surfaces, even critical ones.

No more "ghosting"

Easy to peel off and free of plasticizers, the new adhesive 42LPP is, for example, particularly suitable for glass surfaces. It can be peeled off completely without leaving any residue or traces of label - even with prolonged exposure to heat or light. Even the dreaded "ghosting" - a non-sticky but film-like and clearly visible residue - is a thing of the past. The adhesive achieves just as excellent results when peeling off labels from plastic surfaces, such as PP and PVC resin, and lacquered, galvanised and powder-coated metals as well as paper. The release properties of the plasticizer-free, acrylic-based dispersion adhesive are a result of the use of multi-layer technology, which HERMA is continuing to promote as an industry pioneer.

Ultra easy peel off

The new ultra easy peel off adhesive 42Upp is also free of plasticizers and has a multi-layer structure. The acrylic-based dispersion adhesive is used on smooth and at the same time particularly sensitive surfaces, such as envelopes, magazines and book covers, which are covered with varnish. The integration of microsphere particles, very small beads with special properties, ensure that the surface of the object to which a label is to be applied is not modified.
