Low Basis Weight Papers
Light basis weight papers range in weight from 23 to 50 grams/m2. The paper may contain acrylic, polyester or other resins added during the paper making process to improve the internal bond strength. The paper is then printed and topcoated with polyurethane, urea, polyester, acrylic or melamine resins or a combination thereof for increased durability and performance. These very thin papers can be printed with excellent quality and high fidelity wood grain patterns. Light basis weight papers have long been common in higher levels of value engineering and are widely used in cabinets, store fixtures, shelving, closet systems, RTA and home office furniture.
Light basis weight papers are usually divided into two categories, standard and industrial. Standard grade papers contain a lower amount of resin in the base paper and offer an economical overlay for use on low wear surfaces such as wall paneling. Industrial grade papers have a higher resin content and have greater internal bond strength. These overlays may be supplied precoated with an adhesive on the bottom of the sheet, ready for hot roll laminating, or uncoated, requiring application of an adhesive during the lamination process.
