WASH-OFF ADHESIVES
HERMA Wash-off adhesives are characterized by their reliable adhesive force – even in cool and humid environments – and can still be washed off residue-free in industrial cleaning processes.
HERMA offers solutions for reusable boxes and containers as well as products that are optimally tailored to the recycling of plastic bottles and packaging. In the cleaning process, the HERMA labels are removed from reusable trays or reusable trays in food and plant logistics using water, high pressure and with the help of highly effective cleaning agents. Furthermore, HERMA Wash-off adhesives enable very pure recyclate to be produced when recycling PET bottles or PET, PE and PP packaging, without any annoying residues from paper or film labels or without adhesive residues.
