Featuring a converter friendly balance of high initial tack and low edge bleed, Mactac announces the launch of a new durable labeling product line, LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks.
The LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks feature a selection of durable film facestocks paired with LINTEC’s industry-proven PAT1 and automotive-approved P0066 aggressive acrylic adhesives. The label stocks are intended for use in labeling durable goods, electronics, appliances, warning and instruction labeling, and automotive and medical labeling applications.
With product features that are highly appealing to industry converters, Mactac’s LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks offer cleaner on-press and thermal transfer print performance, as well as reduced risk of label pick-off.
They are suitable for prolonged outdoor use and ensure very good resistance to chemicals, heat (durability up to 302-degrees Fahrenheit), and UV (ultraviolet) light. Additionally, the label stocks are UL 969 recognized by Underwriters Laboratories for superior performance, label suitability, and compliance for displaying required safety information on UL Certified products, despite long-term exposure to a variety of environmental elements.
Other adhesive characteristics include:
- PAT1 is a versatile, go-to high-performance low-ooze permanent acrylic adhesive used in a wide variety of general durable applications and conditions. It has excellent mandrel hold and ultimate adhesion to many high and low energy substrates.
- P0066 is a high-performance low ooze acrylic adhesive offering higher tack and ultimate adhesion to various high and low energy substrates. It was designed for difficult-to-adhere-to low energy surfaces, specifically, including textured and rough surfaces.
Durable labeling solutions featuring the PAT1 adhesive are available with numerous polyester facestocks, including clear gloss, white semi-gloss, bright silver, chemical matte silver, and physical matte silver. PAT1 is also available in a white polypropylene option. Facestocks available with the P0066 adhesive include a white gloss polyester or chemical matte silver polyester.
Most LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks are accompanied with a 45# white glassine liner. Other liner options include a 50# white glassine liner and a 60# blue glassine liner.
LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks are designed to last the lifetime of the product application.
