The planned substitution of the line’s head-box with state of the art equipment will result in better product runnability through silicone coating and lamination and through further converting processes both in PSA labelling and in specialty tape and industrial end-uses.
This investment follows the installation in late 2012 of equipment to apply the successful Acti-V™ technology to release papers produced on G6 paper machine, designed for one and two-side silicone coating processes. Munksjö Acti-V™ plays an active role in the silicone curing and anchorage process, reducing requirement for catalyst (platinum) and energy while making silicone anchorage stronger and more durable, even in challenging environmental conditions.
The La Gère mill is part of Munksjö Release Liners Business Area, a global leading producer of release papers for the PSA industry, with manufacturing sites in Europe and South America.
