Labels with the new HERMAsuperPerm adhesive can help identify automotive parts
Herma has launched a new adhesive for tamper evident labels, which promises to make life more difficult for counterfeiters.
Labels equipped with the new HERMAsuperPerm 63S cannot be removed, even from lacquered cardboard, plastics, or steel, without destruction of the label or the packaging surface. In addition to luxury goods and pharmaceutical products, automotive parts are also very popular with counterfeiters. This results in enormous economic losses as well as health risks for end users.
Highly resistant against water, hot air and various solvents, the adhesive foils can withstand attempts at tampering. It is also ageing-resistant. Since it is dispersion adhesive, adhesive materials can be easily processed in spite of relatively thick adhesive coating. ‘With this set of processing and functional properties, HERMAsuperPerm 63S is currently probably unique in the market,’ said Dr Baumgärtner. ‘Due to its versatility and suitability for universal use, this adhesive is an optimal solution not only for the automotive industry – it is also ideally suited for other tasks where authenticity, security, and inspection seals are required, such as the electronics, pharmaceutical, and food industries.’
