Technicote launched new coupon film base for IRC
applications |
|
Technicote has launched
Technicote IRC film
base, a patterned coupon film providing
outstanding performance to converters who
specialize in Instant Redeemable Coupon
applications.
Technicote IRC is a dual-layer construction
consisting of two, 75 gauge polypropylene films
bonded together with a specialty dry release
adhesive. The unique design
provides a smooth and consistent release,
without the zippiness. This highly versatile IRC
film base is coated with an all-temperature,
permanent acrylic adhesive, and has the
capability to adhere to a broad range of
substrates with no adhesive residue concerns,
and eliminates the need for a patterned adhesive
face stock with a finger lift edge.
Technicote IRC runs at top speeds on automatic
applicators without premature dispensing. The
product is suitable for flexographic printing,
and signature compatible, which makes it ideal
for mail-in rebate or other end use
requirements. Technicote IRC is available trim
free from Technicote’s Cuyahoga Falls, OH and
Corona, CA manufacturing facilities.

Technicote launches
2.6 mil Pearl White Polypropylene |
|
In response
to customers’ concerns about rising raw material
costs, Technicote has developed a "Value Grade"
line of polypropylene products to satisfy a
variety of prime label applications at an
economical price. Although our 2 mil Clear and
2.3 mil White Value Plus BOPP films have been
well received by converters throughout the
industry, the request for a 2.6 mil Value Grade cavitated film has also been in
demand. After several months of R & D, Technicote is
pleased to
announce
the commercial launch of Pearl White Polypropylene
- a 2.6 mil, white, cavitated polypropylene film that
offers an economical advantage over traditional, higher
cost products currently in the marketplace.
2.6
mil Pearl White BOPP features a pearlescent
finish, outstanding opacity and excellent stiffness
properties for label dispensing. Like our Value Grade
films, this product is corona treated for excellent ink
adhesion and is recommended with permanent adhesives
only. 2.6 mil Pearl White BOPP may be
printed using standard methods. Thermal transfer
printing is NOT recommended. The new film is recommended
for a variety of prime label applications in markets
such as Health & Beauty, Personal Care and Household
Products, among others.
To learn
more about Technicote's new 2.6 mil Pearl White
Polypropylene, or request pricing or samples, please

Technicote launches
2.3 mil Polar White Polypropylene |
|
Technicote is pleased to
announce the addition of Polar White
Polypropylene to our existing line of premium
top-coated polypropylene film products. Due to
ongoing supply issues, Technicote has spent
considerable time and effort developing better
solutions. The recent introduction of our “Value
Plus” white polypropylene film is an excellent
lower cost solution for many applications where
a corona treated film is acceptable for ink
receptivity. However, a topcoated film is still
the preferred choice by many converters. To meet
this market need, Technicote (working in
conjunction with a major domestic manufacturer
of BOPP) developed 2.3 mil Polar White
Polypropylene. This product is a gloss white,
topcoated film with properties and
characteristics that closely resemble our
longstanding premium grade, 2.3 mil Majestic
White. |
|
|
|
2.3 mil Polar White BOPP
is available TRIM FREE in a 5,000’ roll
length out of our Terre Haute, IN manufacturing
plant with our TS523 adhesive and 40# SCK liner
(Item#572133)
with two day service. At our West Coast
manufacturing facility in Corona, CA, Polar
White Polypropylene is available TRIM FREE with
our AT333 adhesive and a 40# SCK release liner (Item#572135).
Alternative adhesive and liner constructions are
also available as a custom coat item with a five
day lead time.
Sheet or roll samples of
Technicote's new Polar White Polypropylene are
available by contacting your sales
representative, or by calling our Customer
Service Department direct at 800-358-4448. |

IP400
adhesive for solving wine label adhesion issues in ice
