Fibre-based speciality materials provider Ahlstrom has presented its expanded range of sustainable release and label papers designed for pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) applications at Labelexpo Europe 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The comprehensive product range features low-impact supercalendered release papers that reduce environmental impact and support circularity.<\/p>\n

The papers utilise Ahlstrom\u2019s proprietary Acti-V technology, which enables an efficient silicone coating and curing process, potentially lowering energy, catalyst and silicone consumption.<\/p>\n

The Acti-V RF liners, incorporating 15% post-consumer recycled (PCR) fibres, are available in light yellow and white shades.<\/p>\n

The Acti-V RF Natural liners have a blend of at least 50% unbleached fibres and a minimum of 15% PCR fibres, free from dyes.<\/p>\n

The Acti-V RF Natural liners enhance circularity and reduce carbon footprint while offering a distinctive natural appearance and increased strength.<\/p>\n

Release Liners vice-president Marco Troglia stated: \u201cIdentifying better material solutions is our ongoing commitment. Ahlstrom\u2019s recent innovations in release and label papers have raised the standards of performance, process efficiency and environmental impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on that, our teams in Europe, US and Brazil continue to collaborate with customers and suppliers, striving to make the pressure-sensitive industry more sustainable and resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n

The acquisition of the Stevens Point facility in the US<\/a> has expanded Ahlstrom\u2019s high-end PSA Label Papers offering.<\/p>\n

This includes UniTherm label papers for thermal transfer barcode printing, OptiPrime semi-gloss papers for prime label UV inkjet and digital printing, and sustainable OptiPrime semi-gloss label options with up to 30% PCR fibre content.<\/p>\n

Ahlstrom\u2019s portfolio extends beyond PSA labelling applications. The company supports a wide array of industries with high-performance Glassine, supercalendered kraft (SCK), and clay-coated kraft (CCK) liners, operating multiple production plants across Europe, North America and South America.<\/p>\n
