Munksjö recently announced that the European Patent Organization (EPO) has granted patent EP 2539505 B1 related to the Company’s Acti-V release papers and the method of manufacturing such papers. Patent protection has also been granted this year in the United States of America (US 8,871,342 B2) and in Australia (AU2011219669 B2) and the Company has pending patent applications in other countries worldwide.
Acti-V supercalandered release papers for silicone coating are used as liners for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) labelling, as well as for specialty tape and industrial applications. Thanks to Munksjö’s proprietary technology, Acti-V plays an active role in the silicone curing and anchorage process. Silicone curing requires less catalyst (platinum) and energy. At the same time, silicone anchorage to the paper surface is stronger and more durable, even in challenging environmental conditions.
