Mactac Recognized as BioPreferred Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Manufacturer by USDA
BioPreferred adhesives must use bio-based and renewable components instead of petroleum-based components.
Mactac® recently announced its recognition as the first pressure-sensitive adhesive manufacturer to have products listed in the BioPreferred™ program established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The BioPreferred distinction recognizes that Mactac has developed pressure-sensitive adhesives that have been independently tested and certified as USDA bio-based products.
According to the USDA-led BioPreferred program, bio-based products are derived from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials. They provide an alternative to conventional petroleum-based products. Per the program requirements, BioPreferred adhesives must use bio-based and renewable components instead of petroleum-based components.
