The world would be totally different without plastics. What makes these materials like Ikonos polyethylene terephthalat so special? For one, we specialize our products. In other words we prepare them for particular purposes. Therefore, we offer a range of PET films. However, similar they may look, their physical properties are different. The universality is not the best choice in the specialized world. As a result we use another approach.
The plasticity is power. Thanks to only this one characteristics plastics made a stunning career in all businesses. Also military, health & even space industry heavily relies on them.
In fact, the range of applications, covers all human activities. Printing & especially large format (LFP) digital printing as well. On one hand the plastics are present as parts of printers. On the other, the media to these machines are also mostly plastics!
