Metamark MDP-H now available in more widths
Metamark MDP-H, like any Metamark media that’s part of the company’s digital portfolio, prints brilliantly whether using solvent, EcoSolvent, UV or Latex ink. All MD class materials have a generous appetite for ink so liberating more of the printer’s available gamut and they dry easily too. Where Metamark MDP-H presses home a distinct advantage is in the area of applications it can address. Metamark MDP-H features a
novel adhesive system that’s expressly formulated to be broadly compatible with so-called apolar, or low energy surfaces that are known to challenge conventional adhesive. Products and substrates featuring low energy surfaces are commonly encountered. Moulded wheeled
bins, re-cycling receptacles and sports goods such as canoes are among the most frequently seen. A typical self adhesive
material applied to such a surface will, in a short time, react with the plastics and plasticisers present causing the face film to shrink. This leaves an exposed outline of adhesive that soon picks up dirt and lint and mars the result. Metamark MDP-H builds to a tight ultimate bond and doesn’t shrink back so its adhesive stays exactly where it’s supposed to be - under the super-white, 100 micron face film.
Metamark MDP-H is now available in 760, 1370 and 1600mm
widths. Samples are available free upon request from

New tape for bonding to cold and difficult surfaces
Indasol listens to what signmakers need, which is why the company has recently increased its range of Structural UHB Tapes with a variety of thicknesses in the very latest UHB Cold Stick technology. UHB Cold Stick is a revolutionary
signmaking tape and bonds to almost any surface, in particular cold surfaces, making it ideal for use on site. Available in 0.64mm, 0.8mm and 1.2mm thicknesses, Indasol converts the logs to customer requirements in widths from 6mm to 400mm. “If you’ve ever had to put up a sign in cold
conditions, you will know the frustration of waiting for tapes and adhesives to set. UHB Cold Stick takes this problem away and leaves the sign fixed permanently with total confidence,” comments Andy Mordue, Product Development Manager at Indasol. Andy continues, “Not only will the
Cold Stick UHB bond to cold surfaces, but also tricky plastics and coatings which are becoming more and more popular in display and signage. We have spent a long time developing the tapes as well as surface cleaners and primers to help make the signmaker’s job a little easier.” UHB will bond to metals, plastics, sealed
