Mactac® Further Expands Revolutionary All-Temperature CHILL AT™ and CHILL AT™ EXTREME Label Solutions

Press release from the issuing company

Stow, Ohio – Due to ongoing customer preference and demand, Mactac® Performance Adhesives Group is further expanding its revolutionary all-temperature CHILL AT™ and CHILL AT™ EXTREME label product lines.

With a versatile temperate range spanning -65 to +150 degrees Fahrenheit, CHILL AT products are formulated for demanding cold temperature applications while also delivering superior adhesion at room temperature. Typically used in refrigerated and frozen foods, meat and poultry, cheese, and corrugate labeling, CHILL AT performs exceptionally well on low-surface energy substrates.

Similarly, CHILL AT EXTREME offers all the benefits of CHILL AT, but with even more adhesion mass for even more demanding applications. Also designed for cold and damp labeling applications, it delivers excellent performance in standard temperatures as well as freezer-grade temperatures. Like CHILL AT, CHILL AT EXTREME has outstanding tack and ultimate adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, paper and corrugate.

The newest additions to the product lines are:

CHILL AT

  • Allure™ White Polypropylene Film (PTW7802) – 2.3-mil white, topcoated, solid core polypropylene film recommended for semi-rigid and rigid container applications. Compatible with flexographic (UV and water), gravure, UV inkjet and hot stamp printing.
  • Durascan L Matte White Polypropylene Film (TL7801) – 3.0-mil matte topcoated white polypropylene film specially treated for flexographic and thermal transfer printing.

CHILL AT EXTREME

  • Direct Thermal Weigh Scale Paper (DTW7902) – 4.2-mil medium sensitivity top coated direct thermal paper designed for weigh scale and package delivery applications that require enhanced environmental resistance, especially plasticizers.
  • PLATINUM XTRA Bright White Semi-Gloss Coated Sheet (SGL7902) – 55# brilliant white semi-gloss coated litho construction sheet with outstanding ink receptivity, high internal strength and exceptional smoothness and opacity.

Each new CHILL AT and CHILL AT EXTREME product features a 2.4-mil semi-bleached super calendared kraft (SCK) liner excellent for die cutting, stripping and label dispensing.

“For nearly two years now, since we launched our first CHILL AT products, Mactac Roll Label customers continue to want more from the revolutionary CHILL AT and CHILL AT EXTREME product lines,” says Kathy Magyar, senior marketing manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives. “Both product lines successfully deliver reliable off-the-shelf food packaging label solutions for a range of applications and temperatures. We’re excited to introduce these new constructions to offer converters, end-users and others in food packaging even more solutions for more applications.”
