NewPage Corp., Miamisburg, Ohio, USA, a supplier of specialty label and release liner papers for North American pressure sensitive markets, this week introduced its PointSil™ Densified Liner, a new family of caliper-controlled, heavyweight release liner papers specifically engineered for large-size graphics utilized in transportation, indoor and outdoor advertising signage (see photo), and other wide format applications. PointSil Densified Liner is offered in several caliper options and features exceptional layflat, scoring, and cracking capabilities, all of which are key performance attributes for large and complex graphics that are applied on a multitude of surfaces, and often in challenging locations, NewPage notes.
"Significant growth in the use and complexity of wide format graphics has created a demand for densified release liners that offer the right combination of quality, performance, and run-to-run consistency," said David Diekelman, executive director, specialty papers sales and marketing for NewPage. "Our new PointSil Densified release liner papers excel in these critical areas, and all are backed by the highly skilled technical service customers have come to trust from NewPage."
PointSil Densified Liner includes caliper offerings ranging from 3.2 ml to 4.6 ml – each optimized for caliper-controlled, heavy weight release liner applications, and joins the broader portfolio of NewPage release liner and face papers specifically designed for pressure sensitive applications.
