	Royal Printing Solutions is dedicated to utilizing and developing environment friendly banner and sign products. We are proud to announce that we offer biodegradable banner material, the first landfill degradable banner material.

BIODEGRADABLE FORMULA DETAILS
PVC has a remarkable balance of properties. It is strong, resistant to oil and chemicals, easily decorated, resistant to sunlight and weathering, flame resistant, and low in cost.
At one time, PVC was often formulated with little regard for avoidance of toxic ingredients. This is no longer true. Royal's biodegradable banner material , for example, contains no toxic materials. It is based on the latest technology, highly pure PVC resin, fine particle limestone to provide opacity, plasticizer of vegetable origin to provide flexibility, and the titanium pigment used in the highest quality paint to add to sunlight resistance. Overall, more than 80% of the content of our biodegradable banner material is derived from sources other than petroleum

Previously PVC showed no degradation after decades of landfill burial. When degradable materials, such as starch, were added, they were consumed in the landfill but the PVC itself was untouched. Royal Printing Solutions uses a nontoxic formula that, at very low levels, enables landfill decomposition of biodegradable banner material . Royal's biodegradable banner material has been engineered to be the FIRST truly environmentally friendly, biodegradable PVC sign material.

CERTIFIED TESTING
The time needed for Royal's biodegradable banner
material to vanish into a landfill is of the order of
months, depending on thickness and quantity added.
It should be noted that landfills can be managed by
control of temperature and moisture content so as to increase the level of biological activity. Royal's biodegradable banner material has passed fire testing
for the NY MEA; NFPA 701 and the CA Fire Marshal
Title 19 test. Royal's biodegradable banner material
has been tested for strength and weathering in the
above tests as well as exposure to 2000 hours of laboratory UV, which showed no signs of discoloration.

SPECIFICATIONS
Royal's biodegradable banner material is a durable
white, flexible 13oz substrate readily available in
seamless widths up to 16’4” (5.00m). With 1000 x 1000 denier, it is tear and fade resistant and will withstand
all types of weather conditions; Royal's biodegradable banner material can last three to five years in indoor
and outdoor applications depending on weather
conditions. Royal's biodegradable banner material is
RF- weldable and compatible with UV, solvent and screenprinters. It is well suited for applications that
