Adhesive 63B

Application and use

Thanks to its aggressive adhesive characteristics adhesive 63B is particularly suitable for critical surfaces such as cardboard and ampoules. The adhesive is highly water-resistant and is suitable for labelling cold and humid surfaces. It is extremely resistant to light, heat and ageing.

In combination with HERMA PETP (821, 895, 995, 996, 997), HERMA PE Paperprint, HERMA PP Paperprint, HERMA PE white 850 and HERMAprintex, adhesive 63B complies with BS 5609 Section Two (Resistance to Sea Water).

HERMA PETP / 63B is listed by UL under
- MH26322 ("Marking and Labeling System Materials" PGGU2)
Printed labels of this material are listed under
- MH26479 ("Printing Materials" PGJI2)
- MH26479 ("Printing Materials Certified for Canada" PGJI8)

Processing

Excellent die-cutting characteristics on all customary machines.

Storage conditions and shelf life

Storing at a temperature of 20 ± 5 °C, a relative humidity of 45 ± 5 % and a dark storage is recommended. Moisture, heat and direct sunlight have to be avoided.

Regulations concerning contact with food

All ingredients of adhesive 63B comply with recommendation FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 63B can be safely used for the back coating of labels for the labelling of foodstuffs for storage at room temperature and below. It may be used in direct contact with dry, moist and fatty foodstuffs that can be assigned a correction factor of at least 4 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Furthermore, the adhesive may be used for laminating various materials. In this case, cut edge contact with food is harmless as far as the above mentioned adhesive is concerned. It must be ensured that the relevant migration limits are complied with by the laminated packaging (Declaration of no objection valid until 29.11.2025).

Furthermore the self-adhesive labels with the adhesive 63B can be used for labelling of blood bags (Expert's Opinion from Nomvember 11, 2021).
