and will support our aim of reducing environmental impact.”

This is not to say that using full-white under-base will not yield good color results, just that this print technique will enable the press technician to hit color quicker, resulting in faster set-up and truer color throughout the run. Once the lightness and brightness of the design is established, the last supplication (color) can be printed through similar mesh counts with similar pressure and squeegee settings. This makes for a quicker set-up and approval.

Solar power generation has experienced significant growth in the last few years, and according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is set to increase further by record amounts. An average annual generation growth of 25% is needed from 2022-2030 to meet the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario set out by the IEA.  

The company set ambitious goals. With these key goals set, Kalas reached out to Avient, which had been supplying lead-stabilized vinyl compounds for wire and cable jacketing for a number of years.
