Application and use
The corona pretreated surface of HERMA rPE PCR white (856) offers a good print quality in conventional printing techniques. Before printing we recommend to refresh the corona pretreatment. This recycled film contains gel particles. The number and size depends on the quality of the post consumer recyclate (PCR) and can therefore vary. Depending on the size and shape of the gel particles, there may be variations in ink acceptance. It may therefore be necessary to adjust the printing and die-cutting process. Due to the production from post consumer recyclate, variations in ink adhesion are also possible. In this case, we recommend using a primer. This recycled film is also suitable for thermal transfer printing. Pre-testing is recommended. HERMA rPE PCR white (856) is perfect for the production of visually de manding labels that underline the recycling design and are preferably used on PE surfaces.
Composition of HERMA rPE PCR white (856)
The content of plastic recyclate from post-consumer recyclate (PCR) is ≥ 94%. The masterbatches and additives added during film production, such as white pigments, anti-blocking agents or processing aids, are not counted as recyclates. Therefore, the total recyclate content is always < 100%.
PCR materials may have a stronger inherent odour than virgin PE materials.
RecyClass Certification: HERMA rPE PCR weiß (856) complies with the requirements set out in EN 15343:2007.
Our contribution to sustainability: Only PCR plastics are used in the production of this film. Recycled plastics help us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus effectively combat climate change. At the same time, we can contribute to reducing plastic waste and promote the collection, sorting and recycling of plastic waste to create a circular economy.
