Xcel Products Inc has won the Product of the Year Award with its newest product: TerraSkin XP, a stone paper. TerraSkin XP was entered in the ‘Media-Paper’ category at the 2010 SGIA Product of the Year competition. TerraSkin XP is an eco-friendly, pulp-free paper made from stone. TerraSkin XP is a combination of 80 percent stone (calcium carbonate) with a 20 percent PE (polyethylene) non-toxic resin to create a strong, sustainable substrate.
The Calcium Carbonate in TerraSkin XP comes from construction waste material, such as, marble, limestone and chalk scraps which are ground down to a fine powder. The PE is post-industrial recycled and acts as the binder for the Calcium Carbonate. TerraSkin XP outperforms traditional paper with its moisture and tear-resistance. TerraSkin XP delivers environmental and printing advantages over pulp papers, printable plastics and synthetic papers.
