The water-based Print Shield laminates range for cold, pressure-sensitive applications have been re-engineered and expanded by Seal Graphics.
Specifically, it bans the bringing to market of new equipment containing more than specified levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
Budd added: "Our ability to deliver products, which meet the new EU regulations, is a further testament to our position as the global market leader in lamination and encapsulation systems." Seal Graphics said that it will continue to support machines of earlier construction.
