New PVC-free print films in the Grafityp range
As a sustainable pioneer, Grafityp continues to expand its PVC-free range. We are adding one new Grafityp Ecological Film (GEF) and enhanced formulations to two existing GEF films.
Properties
- Ideal for fleet
- Good flatness
- High-quality processing
- Suitable for UV and latex inks
OPTIMISED FORMULA: GEF112RPE and GEF113RPE
Two existing PVC-free films have improved formulas and modified backing paper. This, among other things, ensures excellent flatness on latex printers and optimal handling, for example, when cutting. The PVC-free print films are ideal for temporary, flat applications thanks to the removable acrylic adhesive.GEF112RPE has a gloss finish
GEF113RPE has a matte finish
Properties
- Improved flatness, also on latex printers
- Optimal handling (cutting & applying)
- Removable adhesiveWhy PVC-free films? PVC-free (print) films have many benefits:
- They come with a solvent-free, non-hazardous adhesive;
- They are free of PVC, phthalates, chlorine and plasticisers;
- The production process is more sustainable;
- Production waste is 100% recyclable.
Figures back up the benefits of Grafityps PVC-free films.
Figures from the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA, 2023) substantiate the benefits of Grafityps PVC-free films. This systematically analyses the potential environmental impacts of products or services throughout their life cycle.The study was conducted by the independent organisation Enperas, a spin-off of the Belgian research centres VITO and EnergyVille. Both leading players in environmental technology and research.
The results are encouraging! PVC-free films.
