PPG Industries' (PPG) Teslin Substrate Gets ISEGA Certificate
Zacks Investment Research | Sep 28, 2017 09:40PM ET
PPG Industries’ (NYSE:PPG) Teslin Food-Grade substrate, part of its Specialty Coatings and Materials business, received accreditation from German independent testing institute ISEGA. The certificate attests that synthetic paper can be used safely for numerous European packaging applications and food labeling. The move will help to improve efficiency of supply chains and provide consumers relief against tampering and counterfeiting issues.
According to PPG Industries, this certification enables customers to use Teslin Food-Grade substrate for applications that require direct contact with dry foods having no free fats at the surface, at room temperature and below, per the European Commission Directives 2006/125/EChas and 2006/141/EC.
Notably, the product offers the same capabilities as normal Teslin substrate, which is resistant to chemicals, water and scuffs. It can survive extreme cold and hot temperature fluctuations and is also resistant to steam and ice exposure. The aforementioned attributes enable packaging and labels to endure wearing that occurs during storage, handling and shipping.
The product is compatible many printing technologies such as laser, inkjet, flexography, thermal transfer and offset. High-definition printing quality and vibrant color reproduction also make it appropriate for branded packaging.
PPG Industries also announced that Teslin Food-Grade substrate is fully compliant with the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, along with all food-additive related regulations for food-contact applications. This allows customers to use the product for single and repeated use applications, under all operating conditions, with no limits to material amount and with all types of food.
