With the launch of Advantage Boost, Mondi (Vienna, Austria) is positioning itself as a new supplier of saturating base kraft papers for various decorative and compact laminates. Typical applications include internal and external building panels, worktops, flooring and shelving, as well as technical films for plywood. For converters, the new paper grade offers excellent uniformity, product consistency, and optimized resin absorption. 

According to Paulus Goess, sales director of Mondi Specialty Kraft Paper, "We are primarily targeting the markets for decorative and compact laminates in Europe in view of increasing demand arising from the current supply situation. For converters, our new offer increases paper availability. We are providing more volume to the market and bringing our services and experience as a long-standing paper and packaging company into the sector." 

After successful customer trials on the European market, Mondi said it is now officially launching the new paper grade. Functioning as a core layer in high pressure laminates (HPL) and continuously pressed laminates (CPL), and for use in technical films for plywood, Advantage Boost is available in multiple substances ranging from 60 to 120 g/m². It can be used in both high-end design products and everyday applications that call for maximum durability.
