works well in the bottle labelling process and withstands icewater
I would assume from the text that we are talking about champagne bottle labels, and understand that the adhesive works well in the bottle labelling process and will stay on the bottle even when immersed in ice water.
man·drel /ˈmændrəl/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[man-druhl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun Machinery.
1. a shaft or bar the end of which is inserted into a workpiece to hold it during machining.
2. a spindle on which a circular saw or grinding wheel rotates.
3. the driving spindle in the headstock of a lathe.
Premium hotmelt for wine and pharmaceuticals labels: For extremely demanding applications in bottle labeling, Henkel has developed Technomelt PS 8780 VP. It masters even the most difficult labeling tasks such as dispensing onto moist and cool surfaces (including PE), offers outstanding adhesive performance on tight radii (Mandrel performance) and shows extremely good resistance in hypercondensation and ice-water tests. The hotmelt die-cuts easily even at high speeds and can also be used for barrel labels that have to withstand seawater exposure (BS 5609).

label sticks well to the bottle and retains its looks when cooling in ice water
I'm not a native speaker of English, but I hope this helps.
mandrel performance = the ability to remain adhered to a curved surface => it (your label) sticks well to the surface of the bottle

good 'ice bucket' characteristics = it (the label) retains its good looks in the ice bucket => the label will stick to the bottle and the printing will remain nice when you put your bottle of wine in the ice bucket to cool it down, water will not damage your label
