Mactac Launches Transfer Adhesive
- Published: July 07, 2017
STOW, OH | Mactac Technical Tapes Products has launched its latest high-strength transfer adhesive tapes, known as XT High Performance Rubber Transfer Adhesives. The adhesives are designed to bond to a wide variety of application substrates, from smooth to textured. They are said to be ideal for foam bonding, product assembly, laminating, and signage and graphics mounting and are available in a 1.8-mil construction (IF1011-78) and a 2.6-mil construction (IF1013-78).
The new transfer adhesives feature company’s proprietary MP593XT rubber adhesive. Company says this aggressive yet versatile adhesive has high tack and peel properties, excellent shear strength, and ultra-conformability, adding it is also easy to laminate and convert and provides exceptional performance on most textiles, foams, and plastics.
The adhesive is protected by a two-side silicone-coated 78# white Super Calendered Kraft (SCK) liner, which reportedly enhances handling and die-cutting.
“The creation of our new XT High Performance Rubber Transfer Adhesives was inspired by our customers,” says Janet Page, marketing manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives Group. “Our customers know and trust our MP593XT adhesive because it is such a robust and versatile adhesive with broad application. And, with the transfer adhesive format, they can build the construction that best suits their needs.”
