GreenStrip Keder, a PVC-free keder for textile tension frame applications. Has been added to Soyang Europe’s product range too. “There’s a very real demand for products to assist with the finishing of textiles, including those for lightboxes and frames and GreenStrip is an ideal solution. Its green credentials make it suited to retail textile applications where environmental responsibility is a hot topic,” said Mashiter.
