PP White TC 60 and ProLiner PP30 for demanding applications in food labelling

(UPM Raflatac, Tampere, 22 September 2011) – UPM Raflatac has announced a new addition to the successful ProLiner® product family. PP White TC 60 RH 9 ProLiner PP30 is a combination of a high-quality, multipurpose filmic face, a high-tack hotmelt adhesive and the revolutionary ProLiner PP30 for increased productivity and profitability in high-volume labelling.

“We’re pleased to introduce this new combination – it complements the current ProLiner PP30 product range for food, personal care and home care labelling,” says Jay Betton, Business Segment Manager at UPM Raflatac. “The filmic face and backing allow the label to be utilised in more demanding applications involving moisture, whilst still taking advantage of all the ProLiner benefits such as more labels on a roll and faster running speeds, not forgetting the recyclable value. This new combination really is the way forward.”

Used ProLiner PP30 has commercial value and can be sold back to commercial recyclers. Users also have the option to be reimbursed for used ProLiner PP30 collected through UPM Raflatac’s waste management concept, RafCycle®. This way, ProLiner PP30 returns to UPM and is re-used as raw material for UPM ProFi® wood-plastic composite products like patio decking, flooring and facades.
