YUPO® has a variety of characteristics.
They can be broadly summarized by the following five
items.
Even if YUPO®
gets wet, there is virtually no reduction in
its strength or deformation, making it outstanding
against water exposure. The strength of YUPO®
is obvious when using maps outdoors.
Because the primary raw material
is polypropylene, YUPO® is resistant
to stretching, folding and other stress. Because
of its resistance to tearing, it makes strong
shopping bags that can be used over and over,
which surpass the level of paper considerably.
YUPO® is good
for finishing with a laminated coating. It can
even be used for mouse pads because the surface
maintains an even smoothness.
Since there is virtually no
deterioration in quality even when YUPO®
is exposed to chemicals, including acid, alkalis,
organic solvents and oils, it can even be used
for labels on oil drums.
Because the primary raw materials
of YUPO® are carbon and hydrogen,
it does not give off toxic chlorine gas when
ignited. In addition, YUPO® is
reusable.
