HERMA self-adhesive materials with BS 5609, Section 2 certificate (seawater resistance)
Most products used in the chemical industry require certification according to British Standard 5609, Section 2. To comply with this standard, an affixed, unprinted label must be able to withstand three months of immersion in seawater without separating from the substrate. Containers with these labels can therefore be transported by sea without difficulty. The interaction between the label material and the adhesive is crucial. With the UV-acrylic adhesives and dispersion adhesives from HERMA, this challenge can be met with ease.
