Why also Halogen-free?
Most flame Retardant materials make use of halogen elements like Chlorine (PVC) and Bromine: they have excellent fire retardant properties, however they do generate toxic smoke during combustion.
PRINT-EX HMAF not only dramatically reduces fire risk but also does not emit toxic fumes.

Recycling
An advertising banner has a short life by nature, as they are periodically replaced by new ones. Our responsibility is to reduce the environmental impact by making use of materials with easy recycling or safe disposal.

PRINT-EX HMAF is easy to recycle or can be incinerated at the end of its life it for production of clean energy, harnessing secondary value from the waste product.
