About LIMEX
LIMEX is a material produced from calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is derived from limestone, and a small amount of polymeric resin is added as a binder.

- Water resistant and tear-proof
- Can be processed with existing equipment and general blades - no special tools needed
- Paper alternatives with LIMEX can significantly reduce the amount of wood pulp and water used
- More durable than paper, making it suitable for heavily used products
- Superior water resistance compared to paper and does not require lamination
- High-quality smooth texture holds ink with razor-sharp precision
- Almost no water is used in the manufacturing process; no forest resources are used
