filmoplast® R, 50 m x 2 cm

filmoplast^® R

• 8.5 g/m² light, transparent, technical Japanese paper,
• coated with heatactivated acrylic-acid ester copolymer,
• the paper is free of lignin and hemicellulose, with a high percentage of alpha cellulose,
• the adhesive contains no softeners, is ageing-resistant, colourless and does not yellow,
• Magnesium carbonate in the adhesive neutralises acids that may arise and migrate into the adhesive layer when paper fibres in old papers degrade,
• the adhesive provides good adhesion with high bending stiffness, even repeated bending will not loosen the seal,
• the sealing temperature must be over 100 °C,
• filmoplast^® R is reversible,
• the lamination can be removed in a water bath or with alcohol. Attention! If using alcohol, check the solvent-resistance of the document first (scripture, stamping ink, etc.).

Fields of application:

filmoplast^® R is the ideal product for maintenance of modern papers and newspapers, retaining the paper character of the original. Due to the low thickness of the material, filmoplast^® R is hardly visible. The ageing resistance of the material was certified by PTS (Papiertechnische Stiftung München, Heidenau PBA-No.: 21.495/3). Continuous embedding from the roll is possible with the HSM hot-sealing machines. Fragmented documents can be joined up on the worktable of these machines and embedded between two layers of filmoplast^® R to form complete documents again. In order to invisibly repair tears, small rolls of filmoplast R can be used and sealed with a heating iron.
