ENDURO Effect 140 Water improved

Tear-resistant, water-repellent paper. Ideal for Wristbands and race numbers.

ENDURO Effect 140 Water improved is a tear-resistant composite material consisting of a 28 µm PP film core and white, glare-free paper surfaces reinforced with synthetic fibres. The three-layer product structure is durable, resistant to edge tearing and water impermeable with high wet strength. It can be cut, punched, drilled, perforated and folded without issue.

The paper surfaces are water-repellent and offer optimized feed properties and printing results. Suitable for flexo printing, conventional offset, UV offset and laser printing.

Thanks to the multi-layer product structure ENDURO offers an affordable, eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to fully synthetic media. It is PVC free and FSC®-certified.

  • Instructions

    General tips

    For quality reasons ENDURO should be stored originally packed. Storage & converting conditions of 20±5°C and 50±10% rel. humidity are recommended.

    Waste disposal
    Due to the film content of over 50%, paper recycling is not recommendable for this product. Smaller quantities can be disposed of together with household waste. ENDURO Effect 140 Water improved is considered commercial waste similar to household waste. It is biologically neutral when landfilled.
    In most cases, incineration with energy recovery is the most efficient solution from an economic and ecological point of view.
    Larger quantities should be disposed of in accordance with local and national regulations. We recommend enquiring with the responsible waste disposal company.

    Durability

    Originally packed under recommended storage conditions ENDURO rolls and sheets can be stored for at least 3 years.
