International Coatings Announces CentrisTM Next Generation Non-Phthalate Inks

International Coatings Company^TM is proud to launch CENTRIS^TM, its next generation line of Non-Phthalate textile screen printing inks. CENTRIS^TM inks print and handle like conventional high-performance plastisol inks, but are formulated with non-phthalate plasticizers (that contain no orthophthalates). CENTRIS^TM inks meet major U.S. and international regulatory standards for phthalates, metals and other restricted substances. With many retailers and sportswear companies demanding more eco-friendly solutions for their garments, CENTRIS^TM is an ideal, proven solution.

"We made a commitment some time ago to convert more of our product line to eco-friendlier products," said Steve Kahane, President of International Coatings. "CENTRIS^TM is the latest step for us in that direction."

International Coatings has conducted extensive tests, including blind beta-tests of the various products that make up the CENTRIS^TM series, to insure that it represents the highest quality non-phthalate inks on the market - ones that perform and have the same attributes as regular plastisol inks. CENTRIS^TM inks are press ready and can be used on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blend fabrics.
