Armor unveils solvent-free coating for TTR market
At Labelexpo Europe, Armor launched SolFree, a solvent-free process for the thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) market. TTR manufacturing traditionally uses solvents during the coating process, but Armor's development allows solvent-free ribbon coating.
'This major step forward for the industry in environmental preservation also represents a guarantee of long term availability of TTR,' said the company in a statement, 'should local and/or international regulations impose some drastic regulations on solvent consumption at any time in the future.'
