Flame resistance technology is blazing the path to innovation
Ahlstrom provides flame-resistant solutions for multiple end-use applications. Flame-resistant papers will char when exposed to a flame but will not support combustion. They will also self-extinguish when the flame source is removed.
Applications include utility grades (not in contact with metal surfaces) such as filters, honeycomb structures (hollow core doors), duct wrap, colored decoration papers, wall coverings, ceiling panels, building materials and paint for flooring and walls.
Specialty grades incorporate chemicals that minimize corrosion when in contact with metal surfaces like aluminum foil.
Available in trulyNatural (unbleached) and bleached. Find out more about trulyNatural technology here.
Suitable for post-processing: Adhesive lamination, phenolic saturation, foil lamination, printing, general slitting and sheeting
End-use applications: Rigid foam insulation facing, stone and glass wool insulation facing, drywall panels e.g. OSB, MDF, HDF and particle boards, filter systems, coverings in spraybooths and much more.
