SIGN BLANKS/PANELS Protecting the Environment: Vycom Vintec Clear PVC Sheets are Ideal for Use as a Barrier Innovative plastic sheet products manufacturer Vycom has seen an uptick in demand for its Vintec® Clear PVC sheets for use as a barrier material in retail, hospitality, education, and consumer-facing environments. Vintec Clear is part of the Vycom Corrtec™ chemical- and corrosion-resistant family of materials, designed to meet requirements in industrial applications. Vintec Clear PVC sheets offer superior ink adhesion for digital and screen printing processes and can be thermoformed and cut. They can be used as a stand-alone barrier or as part of a system utilizing other Vycom products (including Celtec® expanded or solid PVC sheets). The slight blue tint provides an immediately recognizable boundary that reduces unintentional contact. The improved chemical resistance of this product line enables it to hold up better than traditional clear plastic materials against commonly used cleaning products and disinfectants. vycomplastics.com
VINYL/VINYL FILMS The “Bear” Facts About Drytac’s New Polar Dynamic Sand Scuff-resistant Monomeric PVC Film Drytac has announced the North American launch of Polar Dynamic Sand, a new scuff-resistant monomeric PVC film designed for short-term, eye-catching graphics applications.
