MACtac® Introduces PUREtac CL216 for Packaging & Labeling Applications

STOW, Ohio -- MACtac® Printing Products introduces the latest advanced adhesive technology with MACtac PUREtac CL216, the only optically clear adhesive specifically designed to go on and stay on packaging and labeling applications of health, beauty, food, beverage and household cleaner products.

MACtac PUREtac CL216 exhibits superior clarity, high tack and peel, a quick, strong bond and excellent adhesion to low-energy surfaces. The adhesive is ideal for application to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) surfaces, such as juice and water bottles, oil bottles, detergent and other household cleaner product containers.

"The market demanded an ultra-clear, high-tack permanent adhesive for a variety of substrates and facestocks," said Kim Hensley, product manager, MACtac Roll Label. "Designed for film labeling applications where exceptional clarity and excellent tack are required, MACtac PUREtac CL216 is the ultimate adhesive. Its optically clear, go-on, stay-on performance also benefits security aspects required of packaging and labeling applications."

MACtac PUREtac CL216 is currently available on a 2.0-mil clear, 2.3-mil white and 2.0-mil chrome, top coated, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) with 1.0-mil and 1.2-mil PET liners.

Polyester (PET) liners are commonly used in specialty applications as well as in no-label-look, highvolume prime label applications, such as food, beverage and personal care products. PET liners offer excellent die-cut capabilities, smaller roll diameters, better adhesive appearance that leads to flawless application of the label on brand owners containers, higher productivity and the potential for recyclability. MACtac has successfully tested application speeds up to 1,000 feet per minute.
