Sihl’s new inkjet coating is water and chemical resistant

A brand new inkjet coating from Sihl, optimised for water-based inkjet printing, has been introduced.

In time for Labelexpo Chicago, Sihl GmbH is expanding its collection of VIP coatings for water-based inkjet printing with the addition of  XM1. The new coating is characterised by water and chemical resistance, and is also abrasion resistant.

Currently the XM1 is coated on a BOPP film, which is optimal for self-adhesive labels for drum labelling. The product PICOFILM O-60 white XM1 (grade 8000) carries the BS5609 (section 3) standard when printed on Primera Lx2000e, KyaroD and Epson C-3500 label printers.
