Responsibility at HERMA is a practised philosophy. That's why we not only use solvent-free adhesives exclusively, but also promote active environmental protection by permanently striving for improvements in our processes and components, such as label material, bonding adhesive, silicone paper and printing inks. Even with pioneering achievements in our areas. For example, with the curtain coating technology, for the environmentally safe coating of dispersion adhesives. We have been using these since 1999, when we were the first adhesive manufacturer in the world to use them.

Environmental protection is in everything: whether we are only using label paper made from chlorine-free bleached cellulose, or continuing to replace solvent-based printer ink systems with environmentally friendly UV inks. Solvent-free silicone coated liners are also used in applications and energy recycling without hesitation. Likewise, our film labels are made from PE, PP and PET materials that can be recycled without any problems when used in type-sorted labelling applications. You will find all these features combined at HERMA.
