Technical benefits
Polyart® is a natural for applications demanding the printability and converting characteristics of paper as well as the durability of plastic.
- Polyart continues to maintain good print quality while withstanding a variety of hostile conditions.
- Resistant to tearing and water, Polyart is an ideal substrate for outdoor applications. Plus, because Polyart is resistant to seawater, it is perfect for drum labels, shipping labels, etc.
- Resistant to oily substances and most chemical products (i.e. ammonia, caustic soda, isopropyl alcohol).
- Smudge proof Thermal Transfer print, absorbent and resistant coating in wet environment.
- Due to its special manufacturing process, Polyart has no grain direction, which allows it to easily conform to shapes of bottles, and increases its foldability.
- Can withstand extreme heat and cold, remaining dimensionally stable up to 60° C / 140° F and down to -60° C / -76° F.
- Due to its good UV resistance and weathering characteristics, Polyart will not shrink or become brittle.
- Complies with specifications for toy regulations.
- Can be Gamma irradiated for medical sterilization processing. After being sterilized, it is microbially clean.
- Meets class 10 microchip clean room specifications.
- Because of balanced physical properties, conforms well to irregular surfaces or very tight radii.
