PPG Industries has launched a new website for TESLIN substrate, a durable synthetic paper that, because of its microporous structure, offers an exclusive combination of performance benefits that cannot be replicated by other printable plastics, the company stated
Optimized for mobile devices, the new website is designed to offer quick and easy access to essential information. It highlights four primary benefits associated with Teslin substrate—durability, printability, security and bonding strength—and explains why the material’s proprietary microporous formulation makes them possible. The site also features typical applications for Teslin substrate, including print and laminated materials, tags and labels, laminated cards and key tags, secure credentials and identification cards, and e-passports.
Michelle Welch, PPG business director, Teslin substrate products, said the new site is an educational and specification resource for card manufacturers, printers, label converters, brand owners and other professionals who need a versatile synthetic paper that is durable and easy to work with, and that protects and vibrantly reproduces high-resolution color, text, QR codes, product information and other critical data.
“Because of its unique microporosity and combination of performance features, Teslin substrate is unlike any other synthetic paper or printable plastic,” she explained. “The new website clearly identifies why Teslin substrate is a one-of-a-kind material and why it offers end-users the ability to upgrade and differentiate their products through its printability, durability, adhesion and security.”
In addition to benefits and applications, the website features a resource center that includes specification information for working with Teslin substrate, including properties; guidelines for print processing, finishing techniques, and storage and handling; and test data.
The Teslin substrate products group is part of PPG’s specialty coatings and materials business with headquarters in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Manufactured in Barberton, Ohio, and proven worldwide, Teslin substrate is a preferred material for print projects, tags and labels, e-passports and other security credentials.
