PCR & PIR Lutradur
| Revised 06/12/08 | |
| Weight: | PCR: 80 - 200 gsm, PIR: 20 - 300 gsm |

| Width: | up to 5 meters or 200 inches |
| Colors: | green, gray, black, dark black, ebony |
| Application: | Lutradur is a spun bound non-woven fabric that is well suited as an art medium. It's lightweight and delicate, yet very strong. The open structure of Lutradur creates a fiberglass-like fabric but with greater flexibility and none of the toxicity associated with fiberglass. Lutradur allows paint, ink, and other materials to interact with a surface that filters light, yet has body and retains its shape. |
| Construction: | PCR or post-consumer recycle means extending the life cycle of an original product in order to reuse it in another application. PCR comes from taking used polyester bottles and converting them into a raw material that can be used in banners. PIR or post-industrial recycle means the recycling of internal waste generated by the manufacturing process, and also waste from external industrial sources. External sources include used industrial filament, baled waste and rolls from other nonwovens producers, and other polyester sources. |
