Banshan™ is a groundbreaking material set to transform your perception of traditional substances. While it may resemble paper , its performance is anything but paper-like. Banshan™ is a 100% synthetic material meticulously crafted from high-density spunbond polyethylene fibers.
The unique synergy of lightweight design, exceptional durability, and breathability sets Banshan™ apart. It boasts remarkable resistance to water, abrasion, bacterial penetration, and aging. These extraordinary attributes allow Banshan™ to deliver unparalleled value across a diverse range of industries and applications.
The Science Behind Banshan™’s Superiority
Banshan™’s exceptional performance is rooted in its advanced scientific principles. It is available in two distinct structural forms to cater to various needs:
- Hard Structure: Ideal for demanding applications such as building envelopes and medical packaging.
- Soft Structure: Possessing a fabric-like finish, this form is widely utilized in protective apparel and consumer applications.
Key Performance Advantages:
Superior Water Repellency: When Banshan™ fibers are spun and bonded under high heat and pressure, the material acts as a thermoplastic, returning to a high-density, semi-solid state that effectively prevents liquids from breaking its surface.
Breathable Barrier: Because no binders are used to hold Banshan™ together, tiny perforations remain. These allow water vapor to permeate the material while preventing water and other liquids from entering, making Banshan™ highly breathable.
Inherent Barrier Protection: Composed of continuous fibers, Banshan™ provides inherent microbial penetration resistance. This robust structure prevents hazardous materials such as asbestos, mold, fiberglass, and lead from passing through the material.
Exceptional Tensile Strength: The nonwoven fibers of Banshan™ are randomly laid and compressed, providing superior tear and puncture resistance. This design ensures long-lasting, durable protection in demanding environments.
Commitment to Recyclability: Banshan™ is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is fully recyclable. This allows products made with Banshan™ to have a “second life” in items such as park benches and playground equipment. Products composed of 100% Banshan™ material can be recycled at facilities equipped to handle flexible HDPE materials. Please verify with your local recycling facilities to ensure they can process Banshan™. If landfilling becomes necessary, Banshan™ is an inert material. It will not leach harmful compounds into groundwater because it does not contain binders, fillers, or plasticizers.
Versatile Printability: Similar to paper, Banshan™ is compatible with most traditional and digital printing techniques, including UV inkjet, latex, and letterpress processes.
