Paper Laminates.
Custom Grades.
Paper Laminates by OMNOVA Solutions can be customized with your choice of several different grades of paper substrates. The choice of paper grade will affect the decorative appearance or the functional performance of the finished product. An understanding of the decorative and/or functional attributes of each of OMNOVA’s papers will help simplify the selection process.
Please Note: Unless noted otherwise, all papers are white in color in their original, pre-printed state.
pre•empt Stain Resistant Construction
Our pre·empt™ construction combines the proper 30 or 45 paper substrate with a proprietary coating to provide a higher level of stain resistance to many common household staining agents — including cooking oils — when compared to our other paper substrates. Staining results can vary widely dependent on the temperature of the oil.
60 and 80 gram PIP Grade
For special applications, OMNOVA offers a series of Pre-Impregnated Papers (PIP) which feature an infused, functional resin that gives them greater durability and strength to meet special end-use needs and applications. The higher basis weight yields a more opaque paper. Especially good at masking unsightly, discolored or slightly uneven substrate surfaces. Both are available in white, especially suited for printing light colors and patterns. The 60 gram paper is also available in an optional brown or black.
45 gram Wrapping Grade
A heavier gauge paper that is recommended when the application calls for profile wrapping to convex or concave surfaces such as molded edges.
Please Note : Product can only wrap across a single dimension. For multi-dimensional surfaces, OMNOVA offers our 3D Laminates and surf(x)® 3D Laminates.
30 gram High Opacity
As its name suggests, features a highly opaque surface. Well suited for printing light-colored patterns and hiding unsightly or discolored substrate surfaces.
30 gram Industrial Grade
Same weight as above, but features a refined fiber content. Well suited for post lamination machining because it provides a smooth, clean edge when cut or routered.
30 gram Standard Grade
A basic workhorse paper. Well suited for applications to most flat surface substrates. Provides good opacity. Not recommended for profile wrapping – use a 45 gram Wrapping Grade paper (described above).
Our Paper Laminates can also be specified with a choice of several custom Paper Coatings which can also affect the products’ performance and appearance.
