American RENOLIT Corp (ARC), a leading manufacturer of high-quality plastic films in the USA, is now offering its customers in the sign and graphics market phthalate-free films from its production site in La Porte, Indiana. The move demonstrates a strong commitment to proactively maintaining its leading position, both in terms of response to market and customer needs as well as compliance with regulations.
In just 18 years of operation in North America, ARC has helped transform the US calendared film market, improving product quality and closing the gap between calendared and cast films. Now, the company is stepping boldly into the future with a range of calendared films that contain no phthalates. The new phthalate-free films use a plasticizer that is based on an entirely different chemistry, which has been rigorously researched, developed, and tested over the last two years. These innovative products comply with regulations such as California’s Prop 65 and the EU’s REACH, and provide the same high quality and reliability as the existing phthalate-based films.
This latest investment is part of an ongoing commitment to the US market, which has seen ARC invest over $ 100 million in refurbishing and extending the La Porte plant over the last 18 years.
