Polylith synthetic paper combines the durability of plastic
with the printability of paper. Polylith papers are far
stronger and more durable than conventional paper.
The Polylith product line includes the largest
selection of grades, gauges, finishes available
from a single supplier.
What is Polylith Synthetic Paper?
There are two major grade families in the Polylith
product line, the "G" series, which are tear-resistant
products and the "P" series, which are no-tear
products.
Polylith "P" series products are made from polypropylene
resin, and titanium dioxide, while the "G" series
products are mineral reinforced with blends of
inert calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide for
extra whiteness and increased opacity.
Properties and Benefits
Polylith synthetic papers are resistance to water,
chemicals, oils and grease. They're dimensionally
stable when exposed to moisture and humidity and
can withstand temperatures ranging from-60�F to
over 200�F and they are resistant to cracking,
shrinking or distortion in size or color. They
can withstand repeated flexing and bending without
cracking or breaking. Polylith synthetic papers
are unaffected by most common chemicals and do
not absorb oils or grease and can be easily cleaned.
Polylith products satisfies relevant CONEG, CA
Prop 65, Ozone and FDA requirements for food contact,
depending on specific grade selection.
Synthetic Paper Printability
As with traditional papers, Polylith synthetic
papers generally work well with conventional flexographic,
lithographic, gravure, letterpress, screen printing
and thermal transfer and require no pre-treatment.
Bright, vibrant colors are brought to life on
Polylith since the ink is not absorbed and has
excellent bonding characteristics. This allows
excellent ink coverage and superior print fidelity.
Finishing
Whether embossed, foil stamped, glued, scored,
perforated, die-cut or thermal-formed, Polylith
synthetic papers are strong performers.
Recycling and Environmental
Its non-toxic characteristics make Polylith synthetic
paper 100 percent recyclable. Polylith produces
no toxic gases when incinerated. In addition,
since it is a polyolefin based synthetic paper,
it can be recycled along with other plastic packaging
materials, such as PE, PP and PET bottles, without
the need to separate the materials in the recycling
process. Polylith is environmentally friendly
and is manufactured in accordance with strict
pollution control procedures.
