Gombau launches siliconized liner

Gombau Group has announced a new product named PGB – a high-tech siliconized liner which the company claims will ‘break converting and automatic labeling limits’.

PGB is a white polyolefin blended siliconized liner, claimed to show ‘an extremely high tearing resistance’. PGB is especially suitable for the production of ‘no label look’ labels as it features an increased smoothness of siliconized face, which builds upon the levels of transparency found in Gombau’s adhesives.

Gombau Group insists that with the PGB it has the answer to the headache of existing limitations in both label converting and automatic labeling: particularly referring to the persistent problems of transversal web sliding, due to low grip offered by traditional clear-on-clear material, as well as elongation of filmic liners that makes it hard to release a final label of good quality. This new PGB product, according to the Gombau Group, allows for the manufacturing of high quality ‘no label look’ labels with the same simplicity as with other standard PSA material. This is due to its avoidance of web elongation and web sliding. These properties also enhance the automatic labeling ability of the product.
