SYNTHETIC PAPER
General Characteristics
-
A calendared plastic sheet that is a unique mixture of clay (calcium carbonate) & polypropylene resin.
-
Feels, looks, prints, and fabricates like paper, but with the durability and tear resistance of plastic.
-
A single-layered substrate whose micro-porous surface offers superior ink adhesion and excellent bonding characteristics. With a more uniform gauge tolerance and anti-static printing surface, our synthetic papers are easily printable (no pre-treatment) via: offset, lithography, flexo, gravure, letterpress, and screen process printing.
-
Dimensionally stable and can withstand temperatures ranging from –60°F to +200°F and resistant to cracking, abrasion, shrinking or any distortion in color or sheet size
-
100% waterproof and will not be affected by moisture or humidity
-
Offers superior tear and resistance over paper
-
Formulated with anti-static agents and offers a porous printing surface, good layflat, and a very close gauge tolerance suitable for high speed printing, folding, and stacking
-
Porous surface allows ink to be absorbed underneath it's surface preventing the printed image from being damaged by scratching or scuffing.
-
Easily washable with a a damp cloth when removing stains such as grease, oil, foods, soft drinks, soaps, and/or detergents
