MM Board & Paper has introduced MM POLAR PLUS, a new machine-finished bleached kraft paper designed for food and non-food packaging applications.

Maufactured at the company's mill in Kwidzyn, Poland, the machine-finished bleached kraft paper is available in grammages of 40g/m², 45g/m² and 50g/m².

It is intended for converters and packaging manufacturers that need lower-weight paper with consistent quality and processing performance.

The material can be used for bakery bags, fast-food packaging, food wrapping papers, single-use pouches and small bags, as well as other food and non-food formats.

MM POLAR PLUS can be used as a substrate for PE [polyethylene] coating, film lamination and other barrier treatments.

Any added grease, moisture or oxygen resistance comes from those coatings or laminations, while the paper provides the surface and processing properties required for further conversion.

According to the company, the paper has a "smooth surface" and "good formation", with runnability across printing, coating, varnishing and bag-making operations.

The range is made from 100% ECF virgin fibres and offers options for food-contact applications.

MM Board & Paper UFP and PKP sales vice-president Markus Nöcker said: "MM POLAR PLUS extends the MM POLAR family into lighter grammages, giving customers more flexibility for applications where material efficiency, converting performance, and food-contact suitability are all important."

Earlier this year, MM Board & Paper introduced ALASKA BRIGHT NEW, a folding boxboard produced at MM Kotkamills in Finland.

The board is available for applications including cosmetics, dry food, graphical work, healthcare and personal care products.

At the time, the company said that selected grammages use less material while retaining the print results, surface finish and converting characteristics associated with the boxboard.
