Gascogne Flexible launches GASCOFORCE 826

A European manufacturer of release liners creates siliconised, reinforced, unbleached kraft laminate for self-adhesive tapes

Gascogne Flexible, an expert in manufacturing and creating laminated packaging, protection and technical products, has recently expanded its product range with a siliconised, reinforced, unbleached kraft laminate for self-adhesive tapes: GASCOFORCE 826.

The new product features a unique structure based on silicone-coated brown kraft from the Company’s paper mill, and fibre scrim made from a state-of-the-art coating machine combined with high-performance extrusion equipment. With an adhesive coating, this laminate offers these benefits to the tape market:

  • Reinforced backing for self-adhesive tape
  • Ready application with a standard dispenser (no need for water to activate)
  • Excellent tear resistance
  • Extra security and strength
  • High paper content (more than 75%) and therefore consists of largely renewable resources
  • Origins from sustainable forest management
  • Possibility for printing under the silicone layer
  • Compatibility with most adhesive technologies.

Gascogne Flexible offers a broad range of multilayer laminates and custom solutions, with technical assistance at the core of its activity.
