Carstens Heavy Duty Ring Binders are made from premium Copolymer Polypropylene plastic to resist tearing and bending in even the most demanding work environments. The No-Gap steel rings are tested for over 50,000 uses right in our manufacturing facility to ensure they hold tight and stay aligned. The 3-inch ring models hold up to 400 sheets, 2-inch models hold 300, 1.5-inch models hold 250 and the 1-inch models hold 125. Our non-porous binder surface is impenetrable to air and liquids, so bacteria cannot grow beyond the surface – versus standard vinyl binders that can absorb liquids and harbor bacteria. This unique cover material ensures easy cleaning and disinfecting – ideal for rigorous use in busy environments.
