Sappi Fine Paper Europe has expanded its weight range in its Algro Sol portfolio of release liners following the successful €60m transformation of Alfeld Mill’s PM2 in Germany.
The development of the effective lightweight efficiency liners has been made possible by the new 135-ton, 6.4m diameter MG cylinder recently installed on PM2 in the Sappi Alfeld mill.
The new weights range between 70, 80, 85, 90 and 98g /m2, offering a price performance ratio and mostly suited for office use, tape and industrial applications, according to Sappi.
Gunnar Sieber, Sappi product group manager Release Liner, said the expanded range of lower Algro Sol DN weight papers offers an array of options and applications.
“We are excited to be presenting these to more target markets such as pressure sensitive adhesives and prepreg applications. Along with how the grade can support a broader variety of end uses, we are looking forward to approaching new sectors we have not targeted with these grades before. We will also be looking at our global positioning,” he said.
