New PVC-free print films in the Grafityp range

As a sustainable pioneer, Grafityp continues to expand its PVC-free range. We are adding one new Grafityp Ecological Film (GEF) and enhanced formulations to two existing GEF films.

NEW: GEF122PE

GEF122PE is the first PVC-free long-term solution with a permanent adhesive. It is a sustainable alternative for fleet 2D wrap, graphics, and decals on trucks, buses, trains, and subways. The print film's permanent adhesive makes it ideal for long-term outdoor applications.

Properties

- Ideal for fleet 

 - Good flatness

 - High-quality processing

- Suitable for UV and latex inks

OPTIMISED FORMULA: GEF112RPE and GEF113RPE

Two existing PVC-free films have improved formulas and modified backing paper. This, among other things, ensures excellent flatness on latex printers and optimal handling, for example, when cutting. The PVC-free print films are ideal for temporary, flat applications thanks to the removable acrylic adhesive.

GEF112RPE has a gloss finish

GEF113RPE has a matte finish

Properties

- Improved flatness, also on latex printers

- Optimal handling (cutting & applying)

 - Removable adhesive

Why PVC-free films? PVC-free (print) films have many benefits:

- They come with a solvent-free, non-hazardous adhesive;
 - They are free of PVC, phthalates, chlorine and plasticisers;
- The production process is more sustainable;
- Production waste is 100% recyclable.

Figures back up the benefits of Grafityps PVC-free films.

Figures from the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA, 2023) substantiate the benefits of Grafityps PVC-free films. This systematically analyses the potential environmental impacts of products or services throughout their life cycle.
The study was conducted by the independent organisation Enperas, a spin-off of the Belgian research centres VITO and EnergyVille. Both leading players in environmental technology and research.
The results are encouraging! PVC-free films.
