3M, through its commercial graphics division,
has entered into a licensing agreement granting
limited rights to 3M patented technology. The
licensed technology enables Mondi to structure
the surface of its release liners in specific
patterns related to the manufacture of large
format graphic films to enable these graphics
to be applied more easily, quickly and with
fewer defects. Thus, higher quality graphics
and lower installation costs are made possible.
“We are pleased to have negotiated this
agreement and establish an official license for
Mondi and its customers to use this technology.
The application benefits of this technology
have changed the large format graphics
industry, resulting in rapidly increasing
demand. 3M is offering limited rights to this
technology to Mondi and manufacturers of
pressure-sensitive graphic films. We believe
licensing this technology will accelerate growth
in the industry,” said Tom Black, marketing
operations manager, 3M Commercial
Graphics.
“Together with its
innovative extrusion
coating methods
Mondi now offers a
variety of structured
release liner based on
this technology that
enable large format
graphics manufacturers to provide high quality
pressure-sensitive adhesive laminates,” said
Willi Munninger, technical director, Mondi
Coating & Release.
