All coloured plotter vinyls manufactured and sold by Orafol have now been Reach certified. The construction of the films has been enhanced so that all the materials are also now lead chromate free.
The European regulation Reach (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) addresses the use of chemical substances and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment for products manufactured or sold into the EU.
Evelyn Zocher, sales and marketing director for Orafol’s Graphic Products Division said: “Orafol has always been a great supporter of environmental initiatives. As one of the biggest producers of graphic films in Europe, we have a great responsibility to ensure that our products are produced in a manner that is as environmentally friendly as possible, and utilising the most sustainable raw materials as we possibly can. We have for a number of years worked towards fulfilling the Reach requirements, and the work done by our R&D team has been outstanding.”
