Diaures launches laminates with new PP liner

Italian pressure sensitive materials manufacturer Diaures has completed the development of a new range of products based on a polypropylene liner and acrylic adhesives. The DDP range includes vellum, machine coated, Eco and top thermal, white and Clear PP, and white and clear PE.

The company says the PP liners will sell at the same price as glassine liner, while offering a number of advantages including full liner recyclability, fewer stops for reel changing and liner breaks and higher production speeds.

‘The product is ideal for high-speed applications, and there is 15-20 percent more material per reel, leading to a 15-20 percent reduction in the costs of goods handling,’ says Stefano Casarini, sales director at Diaures. ‘In addition the printing process is cleaner and there are higher quality labels thanks to the film liner.’

Diaures has been operating in the self-adhesive market for more than 25 years. The company’s field of operations including the production of machinery for coating, PSA coating, and holographic machinery, to holographic material for security and packaging, and self-adhesive material production in sheet or reel.

Diaures’ current production capacity of 100 million square meters will be increased in 2008 with a new machine dedicated to the DDP line. The production process has been patented.
