(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE April 17, 2012 at 14.00
Ahlstrom, a global high performance materials company, will extend the range of
release papers produced at its Jacareì plant in Brazil with the introduction of
calendered Ahlstrom SILCA(TM) Soft grades.
The Pressure Sensitive-Adhesive (PSA) labelling market is estimated to grow
approximately by 5-7% per year in Brazil and South America. By extending its
release papers product range in Brazil, Ahlstrom aims at better serving the
growing market needs and offering further local supply alternatives to imported
glassine or supercalendered kraft release papers.Equipment modifications to
enable larger production volumes are planned for August 2012.
In developing Ahlstrom SILCA(TM) Soft, the company relied on its broad expertise
in the production of high quality release liners. This new calendered backing
paper, particularly well adapted for labelstock applications, offers the
required properties for secure siliconizing and reliable converting process. It
complements the existing range of Ahlstrom SILCA(TM) calendered release papers
manufactured in Europe and used by the PSA industry worldwide.
Ahlstrom's Jacareì plant is already well known for its high quality clay-coated
release papers and facestock label papers. With the addition of calendered
Ahlstrom SILCA(TM) Soft to the range, the company offers the most complete
portfolio of release and label papers to the PSA industry in South America.
"The extension of our local product offering is a sign of increasing commitment
to our customers in the region, who will benefit from a local supply, flexible
lead times and a responsive service for an increasing number of products," said
Valmir Piton, Vice President, Latin America, Label and Processing.
Ahlstrom is a global leader in release papers, with widest product range on the
market for any PSA application. Its release papers are manufactured in Europe
and South America and are part of the offering of Ahlstrom's Label and
Processing business area.
