MUNKSJÖ OYJ, PRESS RELEASE

Munksjö*, one of the world’s largest specialty paper companies, will exhibit at LabelExpo Asia 2013, December 3-6 in Shanghai, and will present to the Asian market its latest advances in release papers for the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) industry. The most recent developments include the new Acti-V LEAF lightweight release paper for labelstock applications and the enlarged Silco portfolio for specific PSA graphics needs.

Munksjö's attendance at the largest label and package printing event in Asia demonstrates its willingness to support the PSA industry globally and meet the increasing demand of Asian markets for sustainable, high-performance solutions.

New Acti-V LEAF 50 g/m2 is a lightweight glassine release paper with superior mechanical characteristics. Thanks to a tensile strength comparable to that of much heavier standard release papers, Acti-V LEAF enables to produce thinner and lighter PSA labelstock laminates, with no compromise on efficiency. And because it is manufactured with the Acti-V technology, it enables a revolutionary silicone anchorage with significant savings on energy and catalyst cost in the silicone formulations.

For PSA wide-format graphics applications, Munksjö has recently added Silco Flat Premium and Silco Flat HB to its range of clay-coated release papers. Silco Flat Premium eases production process and application of the most sensitive vinyl and thin transparent films. Silco Flat HB is designed for plotter applications and enables precise film cut even with the most complex shapes.

Other developments to be showcased at LabelExpo Asia are the new Silco Office 50 and 55 g/m² enlarging the offering of clay-coated release papers for office applications and the new dedicated range of release papers for pre-impregnated composites materials.

Munksjö Release Liners Business Area is a global leading producer of release papers for the PSA industry. Its release papers are manufactured at sites in Europe and South America*. All of them are ISO 14001, FSC® and PEFC™ Chain-of-Custody certified.
