Application and use
HERMA PP flex clear (847) is a new 45 µm PP label film without topcoat with very good printability. After corona pretreatment, the well wettable outer layer of the PP film can be printed in UV flexographic printing just as well as conventional corona PE label films or topcoated PP films.
Despite the low film thickness, the stiffness and dispensability of HERMA PP flex clear are comparable to standard PP films. This reduces the amount of material usage and thus contributes to sustainability - without compromising on processing speeds and production efficiency. The film has been specially developed for applications where transparent PE films with a significantly higher thickness are normally used.
HERMA PP flex clear is suitable for labelling a wide range of products, from cosmetics, household and cleaning products to beverage and food packaging. Thanks to its high transparency, labels made from it are optically crystal clear and offer a clear advantage over transparent PE films in this respect.
HERMA PP flex clear can be used to produce very attractive, transparent, glossy labels, which are preferably used on polyolefin plastic surfaces for recycling reasons.
