Better than PVC?
Better than PVC?
(OP)
I am wondering if there is any polymer better than PVC for the following:
1) Direct digital print adhesion
2) Good tear resistance
3) Weatherability and wash and dry cycles.
Current material is 80 durometer Shore A PVC.

RE: Better than PVC?
Probably not on a cost/lb basis.
PVC has very good chemical resistance (have you sniffed the cements plumbers use?!)
Also very good UV resistance as well.
Problem is that Greenpeace and Germany have decreed it (without much evidence)as a "no no".
Go figure...

I just laughed so hard I did myself a minor injury.
