Antalis UK has released Xerox Premium NeverTear paper, a synthetic paper designed to create durable documents in the most challenging environments.

The paper, which now features a Biomaster antimicrobial coating, is waterproof, tearproof, greaseproof and alcohol resistant. Antalis says that its ‘coated white matt polyester film makes it suitable for laser printing, and it has high durability without the need for lamination or encapsulation.’

With the events of the past year meaning hygiene is as a high priority as ever, XeroxPremium NeverTear is designed to be easily cleaned with soapy water, bleach or safely disinfected with a variety of alcohol and solvent based agents. It also now has the added protection of the antimicrobial coating, ensuring that the product offers a more hygienic solution to documents.

The Biomaster treatment, which works to inhibit microbe growth, is food and water safe, and has been independently tested to ISO22196. The new coating is currently available on the Xerox Premium NeverTear matt white products from 95 – 350 micron with plans to extend this throughout the range.

Xerox Premium NeverTear, with Biomaster antimicrobial protection, has never been more relevant,’ said Tim Percival, Antalis category director, office and digital papers. ‘It is particularly ideal for printed materials and signage in hospitals, healthcare environments and in the food hospitality markets for items like menus where there is the possibility of a lot of handling and hygiene is of the highest importance.”
