Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with this synthetic paper made by Decro?
It is very similar to the material that those "Fatheads" are made out of. This paper comes in 44" x 100' rolls and is used to make banners, signs, etc.
It has a base material of polypropylene. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find some of the burn characteristics since we are starting to have people using it as a decoration indoors. I attempted to call Epson but hit a dead end. Thanks.

Is this what's sold as 'tyvek'? If so, you can get a few sheets from ebay for pennies (eg wristbands, envelopes, overalls) and do your tests on those?
