HERMA has announced that it has switched its 63S adhesive from single to multi-layer technology, said to have high cohesion and be suitable for use in industries such as automotives, food and electronics.
The new 63Spc adhesive is said to have high internal strength (cohesion), eliminating the possibility of adhesive bleeding during processing - such as in die-cutting – and ensuring a high level of process reliability. HERMA adds that despite this, label printers and users do not have to make any trade-offs regarding the high initial adhesion and final adhesion.
HERMA states that 63Spc has such a high final adhesion that seal labels it is utilized on cannot be removed even from lacquered pharmaceutical packaging and many other polar and non-polar surfaces, such as paper, cardboard and plastics and steel, without being destroyed or leaving visible residue on the surface.
The multi-layer adhesive is said to be highly resistant to water, hot air and various solvents, as well as ageing. The new adhesive is available in combination with a variety of paper and foil materials, and special label materials such as paper with security features can also be used upon request.
In similar news, Sabine Pietka, global marketing manager of Beverage at H.B. Fuller, spoke to us last year about the company’s water-based adhesive technology. As part of our ‘In Conversation With…’ series, Pietka explained how the company aims to transform the beverage sector by addressing operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Also in 2024, UPM Raflatac launched its OptiCut wash-off label solution designed for returnable and reusable plastic food containers used in food logistics. The solution was said to offer adhesion with a clean cut to a variety of surfaces and adhesive residue-free separation for industrial processes and home washing machines.
