The new labelstocks feature a selection of durable films paired with Lintec’s PAT1 and automotive-approved P0066 aggressive acrylic adhesives. The new product line is intended for use in labeling durable goods, electronics, appliances, warning and instruction labeling, and automotive and medical labeling applications.

‘The new Lintec durable labelstocks feature exceptional adhesive performance on both high and low energy surfaces,’ said Cassandra Semonin, associate product manager at Mactac Performance Adhesives. ‘Additionally, a significantly notable benefit of these labelstocks is that they produce very minimal adhesive ooze. When tested against competitive, durable labeling materials, there was no comparison.’

Lintec Low-Ooze offers cleaner on-press and thermal transfer print performance, as well as reduced risk of label pick-off. It is 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 labelstocks 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.

Most Lintec Low-Ooze labelstocks are accompanied with a 45# white glassine liner. Other liner options include a 50# white glassine liner and a 60# blue glassine liner.
