PPG: Synthetic Paper
Developed with 30% bio-based content*, PPG TESLIN® ENVOS™ substrate delivers up to a 25% reduction in carbon footprint** while delivering performance improvements compared to PPG Teslin SP1000 substrate using the same unique microporous technology. The bio-based content and carbon footprint reduction are measured according to ASTM International and ISO testing standards, respectively.
The substrate is a synthetic paper developed with 30% bio-based content. It offers enhanced brightness, durability, print performance and up to a 25% reduction in cradle-to-gate carbon footprint when compared to PPG Teslin SP1000. It is suited for a broad range of applications, including secure credentials such as government IDs and passports, durable labels, specialty labels, RFID labels, and identification cards where long-term performance is critical.
PPG Teslin Envos synthetic paper offers enhanced features, including a bright, white appearance and improved tear and puncture resistance, tensile strength and flexibility. The substrate is also compatible with a broad range of printing and finishing processes. The result is a lower carbon footprint, high-performance material that delivers durability, premium print quality and security.
The product is available in a 10-mil thickness with additional options planned for development. PPG’s portfolio of synthetic papers includes standard grade PPG Teslin substrate and PPG Teslin Bio substrate.

*Calculated using ASTM D6866.
**Based on a PPG cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint comparison between PPG Teslin Envos substrate and PPG Teslin SP1000 substrate (kg CO2e/kg). The analysis uses primary supplier and PPG manufacturing data as well as secondary life cycle inventory data and was conducted in a manner substantially consistent with ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14067.
