Silicone coated release liner producer MPI Release LLC has recently added a 87” (2210 mm) wide POLYTYPE THERMAL COATER, doubled production and opened a second plant in Greenfield, Indiana.
MPI Release has purchased a world-class, high speed, 87” (2210 mm) wide, Polytype Thermal Coater for its Greenfield, Indiana plant.
Capable of applying silicone to two sides of a web in one pass, the coater also prints in-line as well as applies controlled remoisterisation to a paper substrate.
The acquisition enables MPI to share leadership in the Industry by producing the widest and most diverse range of release-coated films [.00025”/ 6.4µ thin and up] and paper, both with and without extrusion coatings, in widths up to 87” (2210 mm) mm.
MPI’S ongoing goal is to build on its reputation as a hands-on supplier, with personalised responsiveness to customers of any size, quick turn-around of sample requests and quotations and on-time shipments of consistent quality.
The company stand second to none in its ability to formulate new products within a prompt or tight time-frame.
MPI, a division of MPI Technologies LLC, has been producing one and two-side coated release liners for over ten years for applications in the electronics and other demanding industries. It is one of the country’s largest coaters of EB materials.
Effective with the purchase of the Indiana production facility, releasable materials will be the company’s entire focus.
MPI supplies release liners for pressure-sensitive labels, the graphic arts field, plastics & rubber processors, converters, composites and structural plastics, medical applications and more.
MPI Release LLC, headquartered at 37 East Street, Winchester, MA 01890, is a privately owned company.
The acquisition of the plant in Greenfield, Indiana doubles MPI’s capacity. The new coater at the Indiana Plant delivers a vital curing capability to the company’s state-of the-art equipment line-up, which already includes both ultra violet [UV] and electron beam [EB].
These capabilities, available in widths up to 82”, are located in MPI’'s Winchester, MA, facility. The acquisition not only greatly expands MPI’s product offerings but also provides the security and convenience of a second climate-controlled facility.
With this expansion, the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the full range of silicone chemistries available to the marketplace in connection with the engineering and development of controlled or differential release coatings for its growing list of top tier customers.
