Mactac Partners with DNP to Enhance Portfolio of UL Approved Durable Films with Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Mactac® is partnering with DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation to enhance its existing portfolio of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved durable films with thermal transfer ribbons.

The partnership includes the addition of DNP’s new V300 thermal transfer ribbon to Mactac’s MH26726 UL file for printing materials in the United States (PGJI2) and Canada (PGJI8). The film-ribbon combination has been approved for label suitability and compliance with ANSI/UL 969 and CSA C22.2 No. 0.15 testing standards.

“Mactac is honored to the have the opportunity to continue our partnership with DNP and offer customers safe, compliant, best-in-class labeling solutions,” said Kim Hensley, senior marketing manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives. “By selecting the approved Mactac/DNP combinations, printers and converters can ensure compliance for displaying required safety information on UL-certified products. Additionally, no further label testing is needed.”

Technical Sales Manager for DNP Brian Marazza adds: “DNP’s partnership with Mactac stretches across the globe and dates back to the early stages of thermal transfer printing. Having UL recognition allows us to offer a complete solution to our converting and distribution customers who require compliance. In addition to UL recognition, V300 can help customers using multiple Mactac receivers by consolidating to just one ribbon solution.”

Mactac Durable Film Products are high-performance adhesive labels designed to resist extreme hot and cold temperatures, moisture, UV light and chemical exposure. DNP’s V300 thermal transfer ribbon is formulated with a unique raw ingredient to provide superior versatility, printing on everything from paper to polyester at high speeds and low energy settings. It features excellent mechanical durability and resistance to alcohols like methanol and isopropanol.

The film-ribbon combination is intended for durable goods and industrial labeling applications, such as power tools, appliances, electronics, compliance labels, and warning and instructional labels. Labels can be used to identify products, track or relay information, and instruct/warn consumers about proper product usage.

Mactac durable films that are UL approved for use with DNP V300 thermal transfer ribbon, include:
FCD6914: 2.0-mil white polyester / MP690 adhesive / 40# liner

BillerudKorsnäs and Viken Skog to explore possibilities for joint production of pulp

BillerudKorsnäs and Viken Skog plan to initiate a feasibility study about future pulp production at Follum. This will be completed during the first half of 2023. The intention is to establish a state-of-the-art production line for bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) at the Follum mill with a capacity assumption of up to 200 kt/a. The Follum mill already has much of the infrastructure needed to establish such a production line and is located in an area with competitive and sustainable wood supply and good transports to BillerudKorsnäs’ board mills. If the project will proceed after the feasibility study is completed, the investment for BillerudKorsnäs is estimated to be in the range of 600-800 MNOK. “This initiative forms part of BillerudKorsnäs’ strategy for sustainable and profitable growth and supports our ambition to grow in paperboard. To cover the increasing need for BCTMP for our growing board operations, we want to explore the possibilities of producing this pulp quality in Follum together with Viken Skog. As part of this partnership, the intention is also to enter into a long-term wood supply agreement with Viken Skog. We initially see good prospects for creating an efficient supply chain and competitive access to the raw materials needed to produce the packaging materials of the future,” comments Christoph Michalski, President and CEO of BillerudKorsnäs.
