Starleaton expands Neschen PVC-free media

Industry supplier Starleaton is expanding its range of PVC-free media from German manufacturer Neschen, which includes a new version of Easy Dot PP for water-based inkjet and HP Indigo printers.

The sustainable range includes graphics media, wallpapers, and laminates, and Easy Dot PET L-UV, a 75-micron polyester film manufactured from 25 per cent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.

Ines Eaton, marketing manager at Starleaton, says the Neschen range of non-PVC digital print media is the eco-friendly alternative to standard PVC films. She says that, “With no compromise on quality or longevity, they offer an attractive environmentally friendly status along with a high-quality product suitable for various uses including long term indoor uses and short to mid-term outdoor applications.”

With Easy Dot to Wall-Grip, from floor and window graphics to wallpapers and wallcoverings, protective laminates to mounting films, Eaton says Neschen has a PVC-free option for “almost any interior or short-term exterior application”.

Designed for application on flat surfaces, Easy Dot self-adhesive vinyl has the adhesive applied in dots, rather than in a traditional smooth coating. Neschen says this allows bubble free and simple application with air being able to travel between the dots. The company says the fire-rated media provides residue-free removal from many surfaces.

The company says it is easy to install and remove, and is suited for promotional graphics on windows, walls and floors.
The new Easy Dot PET L-UV is for latex and UV-Curable technology, Easy Dot PP matt WB is for water-based and HP Indigo printing, while Easy Dot PP matt UV is for UV-curable technology.

In addition, Starleaton is now supplying the Neschen Green Wall range of self-adhesive wallcoverings. These include the Neschen wall-grip PP L-UV – which Eaton says is the green alternative for difficult surfaces such as rough plaster, bare concrete, and untreated chipboard, through to to low-energy surfaces like PP-based panels.

The Neschen Wallpaper L-UV Adhesive is aimed at large scale projects, with the self-adhesive heavy, non-woven wallpaper suitable for UV-curable and latex inks. It is available in two textures: smooth and sand.
