Mactac Launches New LINTEC Low-Ooze, High Adhesion Durable Labelstocks

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 new 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 labelstocks are 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, 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 solutions, there was no comparison.”

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 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.

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.

Stora Enso divests its sawmills and forest operations in Russia

Stora Enso has entered into an agreement to divest its two sawmills in Russia. The Company’s Nebolchi and Impilahti sawmills will be divested to local management. In addition, the divestment includes Stora Enso’s Russian forest operation which through its harvesting supplies wood to the sawmills. Stora Enso’s assessment is that due to the uncertainties in the Russian market, local ownership and operation can provide a more sustainable long-term solution for these business operations and the employees working there. The transaction is, pending necessary approvals, expected to be concluded within Q2 2022 and will have no material impact on Stora Enso’s annual sales and Operational EBIT. Due to decreased business prospects on these businesses, an impairment loss of EUR 70 million has been recorded in the first quarter result. The additional loss on the transaction under IFRS will be approximately EUR 60 million, consisting mainly of currency translation adjustments to be recorded at the closing date. The expenses are considered as items affecting comparability.
