The textiles are for medium-term outdoor use and feature high sustainability. In March 2019, Heytex launched its new ecotex frontlit, and is now extending its portfolio with the PVC-free textile mesh. To complete the range, the company is launching a backlit and a black-back. The new ecotex materials will be available in production widths up to 500 cm (frontlit) and 505 cm (mesh) and are perfect for UV, solvent, eco-solvent and latex printing. Due to their high tear strength and dimensional stability, they can withstand high wind loads and are ultra-light (frontlit is up to 50 percent less than conventional frontlits). This facilitates processing, reduces transport costs and saves CO2. Highly eco-friendly, sustainable and health-conscious, the ecotex materials are free of plasticisers, phthalates and isocyanate-containing compounds. The materials are also the unique alternative for outdoor applications when PVC banners are not desired.
