MACal 9800Pro & Pro SL
High Performance Vinyl Series
Product Description
Exclusive Mactac films designed for high performance permanent marking applications. The face is a
2.6-mil cadmium-free vinyl, which are durable yet highly flexible for conformability over difficult
surfaces and has an enhanced high gloss finish. The product is coated with a high performance,
permanent, clear acrylic adhesive for 9800Pro and a durable white acrylic adhesive for 9800ProSL.
These products utilize an 83# white kraft liner for stability and layflat with blue backprinting. The
products exhibit excellent dimensional stability and are designed for superior cutting and weed ability.
Mactac offers a wide variety of standard high gloss colors with MACal? 9800Pro, and ultra-bright,
luminous colors with MACal? 9800ProSL.

This use-life estimate is based upon accelerated age studies based on vertical applications under “normal” temperate climates. Printability Printability is not warranted. However, we have created the following guidelines if printing is desired: 1) For screen printing: Limit the screen ink to two or three colors. While the liner is an excellent liner, it is designed for plotter cutting. Sometimes too much heat may result in the liner ‘waving’ a little which can cause registration issues when additional colors are used. Mactac recommends Nazdar 3500 series UV cured screen inks. 2) If printing UV inkjet; make sure the vacuum (if flatbed) is strong enough to hold the liner down tight. Typically it is, but vacuums are notoriously weak, especially as they age. 3) If printing with solvent inks; limit the inks to a total of 270% saturation. Use a generic ICC profile for either 2 mil cast of 3.5 mil calendared vinyl films as a starting point. 4) Thermal transfer printing: all MACmark gloss films are thermal transfer printable. We strongly recommend the use of a web cleaner prior to printing due to the potential presence of paper dust from the white kraft paper liner. Shelf Life Two years when stored between at 60- 80°F (15 - 25°C) and 50% relative humidity or less. Chemical Resistance A sample is prepared by adhering the film to a metal substrate 24 hours prior to immersion in the chemical solution or solvent. After a fixed period of time, the sample is removed, dried and examined for adhesion.

Test Fuel Observation Low Octane Good High Octane Good Limitations 1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this Performance Guide. 2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative to discuss your requirements for recommendations. 3) If this is a printed Performance Guide it is an uncontrolled document.

Where exposure to chemical and solvent spills is likely to occur, edge sealing of decals with a varnish or clear coat will prevent edge lift. Correct varnishing of decals gives greater protection and longer end-use life against any prolonged effect of weathering, abrasion and other erosive effects such as frequent cleaning.
