Concrete Sidewalks

STR328 StreetRAP™ is a 4.0 mil opaque matte white vinyl with an aggressive, thick layer of high-tack adhesive for applications that are hard to stick to, like unsealed pedestrian concrete or asphalt sidewalks or smooth to slightly textured walls. StreetRAP comes with Mactac’s 90# SuperFlat™ liner which makes it ideal as a multi-print media for all wide-format hardware.

StreetRAP is the leading industry product for concrete sidewalk applications and has been used successfully for major events in North America. It is also an ideal choice for a wide range of high-tack applications like low surface energy plastic, vending and kiosk powdercoated paints. Paired with FloorGRIP™ for floors, ColorGard® LUV for walls, or unlaminated StreetRAP will take heat to conform to textured walls and floors, to burnish edges, or heat seal the entire graphic.

TA2500 Guide for Drywall application instructions

Lamination is not recommended for wallNOODLE due to the weight of the total construction versus the light tack strength of the adhesive. As wallNOODLE is a short-term application, lamination should not be required .

wallNOODLE has a permanent counterpart, called…Permanent wallNOODLE. PN628 is perfect for barrier graphics and other signage projects where a thick, easy to apply product is requested.

Also, do not try to print edge to edge with wallNOODLE, unless you are using a latex printer. Solvent printers will cause edge lifting on your graphic, due to the light tack of the wallNOODLE adhesive.

MULTI-PRINT

REBEL®H is a high-performance 4.0 mil polymeric vinyl built to be the most versatile print media on the market. 100% opaque, matte white facestock provides complete block-out and cover up, and the clear, high-tack permanent adhesive ensures that when it absolutely, positively has to stick, it will. 90# SuperFlat™ liner for superior lay flat on a variety of hardware makes REBEL the most versatile for any operation. Also available in a very unique Gloss Clear version for OEM Decals.

REBEL H is different by design. The opacity is built into the face stock so you have no gray adhesive to dull the film’s white point. You get the opacity you need, without diluting the strength of the adhesive with gray filler. The adhesive is clear, and strong, and is proven to have more tack and peel than the competition. Wrap it up with Mactac’s unique SuperFlat liner for a true multi-print media, and you have the one product that customers ask for when it absolutely has to stick.

Economy Signage

IMAGin® PrintVinyl is a 3.9 mil soft calendered vinyl print media designed for exceptional print quality and adhesion to all common mounting substrates. Clear permanent acrylic and gray, opaque adhesives and a 74# kraft liner makes IMAGin PrintVinyl ideal for general purpose indoor and outdoor advertising and promotional projects where quality, durability and economy are the main factors.

IMAGin PrintVinyl is a rare find for printers that are looking for a four year durable print media at an economy price that does not sacrifice quality. IMAGin PrintVinyl prints exceptionally well, and the clear adhesive is strong, meaning that it will not only stick to high surface energy substrates like stainless steel and aluminum, but also Sintra®, Gator® and other lower energy surfaces. IMAGin PrintVinyl is not designed for true low-surface energy substrates like powder-coated paint, but you will be hard pressed to find a better branded option with four year durability. Also note the 64” option, great for 2-up printing.

Lamination including over UV inkjet

Customers prefer ColorGard® LUV as their quality intermediate overlaminate. The ColorGard laminate range is a 3.2 mil blended polymeric calendared vinyl that includes inhibitors that protect it from UV light. The permanent acrylic adhesive is specially designed for UV inks and is recommended for all digitally printed medias, whether for indoor or outdoor application, up to four years.

ColorGard’s adhesive is a proprietary Mactac formulation that was developed SPECIFICALLY for UV inks. The softness and viscosity of the adhesive allows it to flow into the channels that UV ink creates, and provides an impressive lamination with virtually no silvering right off of the laminator. Combined with exceptional adhesive anchorage, there is no other need for a premium intermediate laminate for quality print image protection.
