New UV Inkjet Semi-Gloss Paper Product

Designed to enhance converters’ product portfolios, Mactac® Performance Adhesives Group announces the launch of an innovative new UV Inkjet semi-gloss paper product.

Saving converters both time and money, the product, UVS9002, eliminates the potential need to prime prior to converting.

“UVS9002 fills a gap in many converters’ portfolios,” says Sara Damante, Senior Marketing Manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives. “As the digital and UV space continues to grow, our team recognized a need for additional UV Inkjet products and the launch of this product will deliver great value to converters by increasing efficiencies and improving cost-savings.”

Part of Mactac’s MACjet® product line offering, UVS9002 is a 54# brilliant white, high-quality semi-gloss paper stock that is suitable for UV Inkjet print engines, as well as flexo. It is accompanied by a 2.4-mil Super Calendared Kraft (SCK) liner and Mactac’s popular quick-tack 710VHP hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive.

The SCK liner is excellent for die-cutting, stripping, and label dispensing and the well-known permanent, rubber-based 710VHP adhesive offers excellent tack and ultimate adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, paper, and corrugate.

UVS9002 is a versatile label that converts on wider webs at higher speeds than other rubber-based adhesive-coated papers. It is ideal for high-quality inkjet labeling applications in a multitude of segments – from product labeling to VIP labeling – and is also suitable for cold, damp labeling applications.

The product is already approved and qualified on several OEM presses, including: Domino N610i UV press; Epson Surepress UV L-6534VW; Screen True Press Jet L350 UV; Xeikon PX3000. UVS9002 will be qualified on more OEM presses in the near future.

Northern Pulp Nova Scotia and certain affiliates file for voluntary CCAA creditor protection

Paper Excellence Canada announced that 1057863 B.C. Ltd, Northern Pulp Nova Scotia, Northern Timber Nova Scotia and other related non-operating affiliates (collectively, “Northern Pulp”) have obtained an initial order under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). The initial order stays proceedings against Northern Pulp in order to provide it with an opportunity to restructure its business and financial affairs. Paper Excellence Canada has not sought relief in the CCAA proceedings. Northern Pulp owns a pulp mill in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. The pulp mill, which had been operational since 1967, was forced to stop production by January 31, 2020, after the Province of Nova Scotia’s decision to require Northern Pulp to cease using the Boat Harbour Effluent Treatment Facility (BHEFT). This left the mill with no ability to treat or transport pulp effluent. Since January, Northern Pulp has been conducting a safe and environmentally sound hibernation of the mill, which would allow it to reopen in the event a proposed new Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) receives the necessary approvals.
