Flame Resistance Technology
Ahlstrom-Munksjö provides flame-resistant solutions for multiple end-use applications. Flame-resistant papers will char when exposed to a flame, but will not support combustion and will self-extinguish when the flame source is removed.
Multiple application uses include utility grades (not in contact with metal surfaces) such as filters, honeycomb structures (hollow core doors), duct wrap, colored-decoration papers, wall coverings, ceiling panels, building materials and paint-booth flooring and walls.
Specialty grades incorporate chemicals that minimize corrosion when coming in contact with metal surfaces like aluminum foil.
