Ahlstrom-Munksjö debuts EnduraFlex and HydroSize paper technologies
Ahlstrom-Munksjo Oyj - With the introduction of two innovative product ranges, Ahlstrom-Munksjö continues to provide sustainable, fiber-based solutions for what can be done with paper.
EnduraFlex technology creates stretch in crepe and extensible papers, resulting in a product that can compete with alternative flexible materials. Extensible papers are structured to accommodate stretch; the surface of the paper is not affected by its inherent flexibility. Likewise, crepe papers produced with EnduraFlex technology showcase new levels of stretch without compromising appearance or functionality. The end usage of EnduraFlex papers are widely variable, ranging from use in construction materials to e-commerce and decorative packaging solutions.
HydroSize papers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional waterproof materials. Ahlstrom-Munksjö has developed enhanced water resistance within paper fibers and structure, preventing product saturation. The resulting papers are able to repel water and other liquids for long periods. This new technological opportunity provides consumers with a water resistant option in several different areas, including agriculture, gardening and various e-commerce packaging solutions such as cold chain insulated packaging.
Ahlstrom-Munksjö is dedicated to providing sustainable alternatives to non-renewable plastic materials in everyday life. Two new technologies further this goal, solidifying the important role that paper will play in an ecofriendly future.
