POLYVANTIS Showcases Next-Generation Label Films at Labelexpo 2025

Innovative PMMA and PC films deliver sustainable, tamper-evident, and flame-resistant alternatives for the future of labeling

Barcelona, Spain – September 16, 2025 – The labeling industry is under pressure to meet evolving demands, such as stricter safety standards, rising sustainability expectations, and the need to protect brands and consumers against counterfeiting. At the same time, the transition away from PVC forces converters and brand owners to find high-performance alternatives without compromising quality or compliance.

At Labelexpo 2025, POLYVANTIS will showcase how its PVC-free PLEXIGLAS® polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) films and LEXAN™ polycarbonate (PC) films help customers overcome these challenges and achieve their goals in labeling applications.

“Converters and brand owners are searching for reliable solutions that balance durability, sustainability, and regulatory compliance,” said Roland Mickal, Senior Director, Films, POLYVANTIS. “Our PMMA and PC films are engineered to meet these requirements, providing innovative alternatives that protect brands, extend product lifecycles, and enable safer, more sustainable design.”

Overcoming Industry Challenges with PLEXIGLAS® PMMA Films

• Challenge: Labels that fade or degrade outdoors.
  Solution: PLEXIGLAS® PMMA films include advanced UV protection, keeping labels legible and attractive even after years of outdoor exposure.
  
  
• Challenge: Counterfeit goods eroding brand value.
  Solution: POLYVANTIS holds a patent for its ultra-destructible film WF011, which breaks apart upon removal attempts. This tamper-evident solution protects against counterfeiting, helping safeguard revenues and brand reputation.
  
  
• Challenge: Pressure to move away from PVC and ensure safe use in sensitive applications.
  Solution: PLEXIGLAS® films are free from halogens and plasticizers, odorless, recyclable, non-toxic, and biocompatible, making them suitable for food-contact, medical, and cosmetic labels.
  
  

Meeting Specialty Demands with LEXAN™ PC Films

• Challenge: Components in safety-critical industries must meet flame-retardant standards.
  Solution: LEXAN™ FR films provide superior flame resistance (UL 94 V-0), allowing labels to comply with stringent fire safety regulations — a unique advantage that positions POLYVANTIS ahead of the market.
  
  
• Challenge: Labels exposed to chemicals, cleaners, or mechanical abrasion wear out too quickly.
  Solution: LEXAN™ HP films deliver exceptional abrasion and chemical resistance, UV stability, and excellent printability, ensuring labels remain clear, vibrant, and reliable under demanding conditions.
