MAPLEX MDCC
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
Maplex MDCC (medium density cotton calendered) is a medium-density flexible yet strong 100% biobased pressboard which is produced with unbleached softwood cellulose and cotton fibers. Calendering process, when applied, densifies the sheet and slightly smoothes its surface. Calendering is performed in parallel to the sheet’s machine direction. Proprietary fiber blend, board machine settings and controlled hot press drying allows monitoring fiber alignment during sheet formation process and results in strong yet flexible and formable material.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Durable, smooth and dimensionally stable pressboard -
Minimal risk of breaking, wrinkling, creping or fiber separation -
Biodegradable and recyclable
Key features and benefits
-
Calandered medium-density, 100% biobased pressboard -
Produced with unbleached softwood cellulose and cotton fibers -
Protects the roll and printable substrate surface from damage
Applications
-
Underlay protection sheet in the security printing equipment and punching machines
MAPLEX P
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
Maplex P is a strong, high-density, high-performance board with good dimensional stability. This product is typically used when high compressive and/or flexural strength is required. Maplex P is a 100% bio-based pressboard manufactured from non-bleached softwood cellulose and water.
This strong high-density pressboard is a new category of zero VOC materials which is created with the circular economy in mind.
