New wash-off adhesive for optimum PET recycling

PET bottle becomes PET bottle becomes PET bottle - this is no longer a utopia, but a real possibility. With a new special wash-off adhesive for labels, HERMA makes it possible for very pure PET granulate to be produced during recycling, without annoying residues of paper or film labels or adhesive residues.

PET bottle becomes PET bottle becomes PET bottle - this is no longer a utopia, but a real possibility. With a new special wash-off adhesive for labels, HERMA makes it possible for very pure PET granulate to be produced during recycling, without any annoying residues of paper or film labels or adhesive residues. Such closed material cycles - instead of the usual downcycling - are among the most important requirements when it comes to sustainable management. The fo-cus has long since included not only PET beverage bottles, but also, for example, detergent bottles, soap dispensers and cans for food and cosmetics. The HERMA pressure-sensitive adhesive with the designation 62Rpw is distinguished by its reliable adhesive strength and high resistance to moisture. Nevertheless, it can be completely removed during the usual industrial cleaning processes.
