Sustainable extruded polypropylene sheet
Antalis has introduced the latest addition to its sustainable product range. Manufactured by IPB, the Triaprint extruded polypropylene sheet consists of three layers with a cell structured core and smooth top and bottom layer, both corona treated, making it “ideal for screen and UV digital printing”.
Triaprint has a smooth top and bottom surface and is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of foam PVC, foam board and other rigid plastics as its construction is 100% polypropylene, in turn making it 100% recyclable.
The smooth top surface is more akin to the type of finish seen on solid polypropylene including Antalis’ Priplak range.
Triaprint is available in 1220 x 2440mm and 1500 x 3050mm sheet sizes with thickness options of 3.4mm and 5.7mm; stocked in white, further colours available made to order. Key characteristics include its smooth printable surface, high compression strength, high rigidity and low weight. Made with a fire-retardant additive, possible applications of Triaprint include POS and display, indoor and outdoor signage, exhibitions and events and both internal and external hoardings.
Visual communications product manager Paul Neale comments: “Antalis is committed to the continued development of sustainable material alternatives for its customers. Following the recent launch of Xanita Board, a lightweight, robust and sustainable fibre-board manufactured from fibres recovered from recycled cardboard boxes, Triaprint now joins the portfolio. Further products are planned for launch later this year.”
