Acucote Introduces Wash Off Adhesive

Acucote, a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating man- ufacturer, has introduced WOff, a Wash Off Adhesive. This water-based formula provides debonding of non-recyclable label materials from PET and glass con- tainers, making them recoverable. Debonding occurs when the container is processed utilizing a water temperature of 88 degrees C/190 de- grees fahrenheit or higher with an alkaline solution. This sink/float recycling process reportedly cleanly separates the label from the container and PET flakes. WOff is recommended for beverage and household applications where the container will pass through its recycling stream and the PET flake process. It is APEO-free.

MacDermid Expands Support With Sightcall

MacDermid Graphics Solutions (MGS) has added the SightCall visual assistance platform, which integrates with MacDermid’s Salesforce platform and is an inter- active tool for virtual communication between cus- tomers and technicians. This program enables live audio and video transmit- ted from a mobile device to a MacDermid technician during remote maintenance. The technician can see and assess the situation via live video, allowing for rap- id and complete evaluation of the issue. MacDermid technicians can reportedly now see and share valuable information, improving communi- cation, reducing misunderstandings, and accelerating problem resolution.
