Taghleef Industries has introduced a new range of graphic films for visual communication, signage and outdoor advertising, extending its film expertise from packaging and labels into the graphics and display market.
The films are based on a PVC-free, chlorine-free polypropylene (PP) platform and are designed to provide performance comparable with PVC substrates without relying on plasticisers or chlorine-based chemistry.
The range includes printable films developed for UV inkjet and latex wide-format printing, as well as overlamination films in gloss, matte, DL Soft Touch, anti-scratch, sandy, leather and canvas finishes. Both printable and overlamination films are available with bio-based and recycled feedstock options, which the company says maintain the performance standards of its core range.
According to Taghleef Industries, the PP-based platform can deliver up to 35% higher surface yield than standard alternatives. The films are also designed to provide dimensional stability, printability and compatibility with a broad range of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
“This is our first step into the graphics segment, and it’s built on the same technical foundation that’s underpinned our work in labels for years. We wanted a PVC-free substrate that didn’t ask converters to compromise on print performance to get there,” said Diana Dedeic, product manager labels, Taghleef Industries.
The films are intended for applications including retail signage, wall graphics, exhibition and event displays, and interior décor. The company is targeting both converters considering alternatives to PVC-based substrates and brand owners looking for large-format materials with a defined environmental profile.
The launch follows Taghleef Industries’ initial entry into the visual communication market earlier this year. The company describes the new range as the first phase of a broader portfolio of substrates for the graphics segment.
