FLEXCON: Polypropylene Films for Labeling Applications
FLEXCon reports that the polypropylene films were subjected to rigorous durability testing side by side with vinyls, and they performed just as well.
FLEXcon Co., Inc. has announced the introduction of FLEXcon® NEXgen™ polypropylene films, which are reportedly sustainable “greener” non-vinyl alternatives for durable labeling applications. FLEXcon NEXgen polypropylene is designed for consumer durables, electronics, industrial, and transportation applications, including compliance labels, brand identity labels, and warning and instructional labels. FLEXcon NEXgen polypropylenes are UL/cUL-recognized (CSA pending).
“As many segments of this industry are trending away from vinyl, converters have been hard-pressed to find an alternative robust enough to meet the demands of durable labeling at a comparable price,” said Ross Hodnett, FLEXcon product manager. ”We worked with one of our supplier-partners to develop a unique polypropylene film which is a true alternative to flexible vinyl for durable labels.”
