TerraSkin® XP delivers environmental and printing advantages over pulp papers, printable plastics and synthetic papers.
Xcel Products, Inc. continues its commitment to excellence and innovation with TerraSkin® XP.
What is it? TerraSkin®XP is a pulp-free paper made from stone. TerraSkin® XP is a combination of 80 % stone (calcium carbonate) with a 20% PE (polyethylene) non-toxic resin to create a strong, sustainable substrate.
How is it made?
The Calcium Carbonate comes from waste material used in the building and construction industry; such as, marble and limestone scraps which are ground down to a fine powder.
The PE is post-industrial recycled and acts as the binder for the Calcium Carbonate. Together these materials create a paper that is both water and tear-resistant.
TerraSkin® XP is produced without the use of water or toxic bleaching chemicals. Its production requires 50% less energy than traditional paper and 20-30% less ink for printing.
No Deforestation – Not a single tree is used in the production of TerraSkin® XP.
No Water – The production of TerraSkin® XP requires no water.
No Bleach – TerraSkin® XP is naturally bright white; therefore, requires no bleach or other bleaching agents during manufacturing.
Durable - TerraSkin® XP is moisture, oil, and tear-resistant.
Reduction in Ink Costs – TerraSkin® XP is fiber-free reducing ink coverage needed by 20-30%.
Degradation – TerraSkin® XP will degrade back to its source – the powder of stone – when left out in nature for approximately six to nine months.
Finishing - TerraSkin® XP is easy to die-cut, fold, bind, laminate and glue.
Recyclable – Can be recycled with plastics in industrial recycling facilities.*
