Mactac launches durable film range

Mactac Printing Products has launched its line of durable films, which offers 12 new products that cover a wide range of applications.

Designed for applications such as lawn and garden, chemical drums, appliance and nameplate, and wet-cell batteries, Mactac’s durable films are tested and recognized by industry standards, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 969 or British Standard 5609, for superior performance despite long-term exposure to a variety of environmental elements.

‘Our durable film solutions were developed with converter and end-use requirements in mind,’ said Mike Marasch, senior marketing director, Mactac Printing Products. ‘Our expanding durable film portfolio allows us to bring converters new ways of looking at pressure-sensitive technology as they continue to expand their businesses and pursue new revenue streams.’

Mactac’s durable films provide protection from solvents, temperature extremes, ultra-violet light degradation, moisture, chemicals, abrasion and more. The product offering consists of transfer tapes as well as general purpose and specialty films available in a variety of facestocks and functional topcoats, including white, clear and metalized polyester, vinyl and polypropylene.

The films feature Mactac’s proprietary MP690 acrylic emulsion adhesive that is resistant to moisture, chemicals, heat and solvents. The adhesive formulation delivers smooth, uniform adhesion power with high peel, tack and sheer properties when applying to both high- and low-surface energy substrates and is protected with a 50# SCK liner.

Mactac’s durable films are available under the company’s Precise Program, allowing customers to order a smaller amount of material for small runs and limited applications.
