Application and use
HERMAtherm G BPA-free is Bisphenol A free and suits well as label material on food packaging and gives excellent representation of EAN and other barcodes.
As economy thermal papers are not equipped with a protective surface coat, they should not be exposed to water or greasy substances. The image may fade over a period of time if applied to surfaces containing plasticisers (e.g. flexible polyvinyl chloride).
Printing speeds of up to 250 mm/s are possible in thermal direct printing.
The surface of HERMAtherm G BPA-free offers a good quality of imprint when solvent-free inks and varnishes are applied. The inks should be suitable for printing thermal papers, consulting of ink supplier is recommended. Basically, suitability tests should be performed under customer-specific conditions as unpredictable interactions with the ink may occur due to the lack of a protective coating.
Web temperature during curing should not exceed 50 °C in order to prevent premature imaging or discolouration.
The pulp for this paper comes from FSC® certified forest management and other controlled sources.
