Impressive Foam Performance
OLMO Paper ® - the processing
paper of our time
OLMO Paper ® , a technology
jointly developed by OLMO
Company and Mondi Packaging
Coating, plays a vital role in
today’s foam manufacturing.
The OLMO Paper ® is a unique product that combines
kraftpaper and a very thin peelable polyethylene film.
This exciting new material solves various production
problems associated with conventional processing
paper or standard polyethylene films.

There are many methods of processing flexible
polyurethane foam and we believe that you will be
using one of the following systems:
In all the above machines, you use paper and/or plastic
to provide the enclosure for the expanding foam.
This means that when the liquid raw materials come
into contact with the paper, the paper absorbs them.
Furthermore at the end of the machine, when you
remove the paper or film from the block, you also
take away a layer of foam. This increases foam waste
and makes disposal of the paper and film difficult.
OLMO Paper ® technology can prevent all these
problems and will dramatically reduce your costs.
This technology can be successfully applied for the
production of several Polyurethane foam types.
The OLMO Paper ® already used worldwide by the
major foam producers is designed to run on all
machine types like Beamech, Cannon Viking,
Hennecke and Laader Berg.

Tremendous Cost Savings
OLMO Paper ® technology offers 5 major advantages:
1. Tremendous reduction in material loss
When polyurethane slabstock buns are produced by
the conventional method, the foam material often
sticks to the paper causing considerable material
loss. Even the use of standard polyethylene films
does not prevent material loss to occur during the
rewinding operation. OLMO Paper ® eliminates this
problem by rewinding only the kraft paper and leaving
the thin polyethylene film on the bun surface. At the
end of the foaming process the foam bun will present
a smooth surface without any skin loss. Benefits are
remarkable not only in conventional foam grades, but
also in Polyester, High Resilience, TDI and liquid CO2
blown foam. Compared to conventional systems
OLMO Paper ® provides a superior foam yield.
2. Greater safety from Isocyanate contact
When the kraft paper is peeled away the thin polyethylene
film encloses the foam bun and serves as
an important safety feature:
a) It reduces human contact with Isocyanate
vapours
b) The level of Isocyanate fumes in the working
area has been subject to legislation for many
years, and OLMO Paper ® is dramatically reducing
this level
3. Cleaner and more efficient work environment
Paper debris and foam waste tends to accumulate
and impede efficiency in ordinary plants where
polyurethane foam is manufactured. But when the
OLMO Paper ® is used, waste is remarkably reduced
and the plant floor is kept clean and neat to promote
greater efficiency.
4. Improved foam properties
● Atmospheric humidity has a big effect upon foam
characteristics
● When the thin polyethylene film covers a foam bun
the peak temperature it reaches during the curing
period is lower in comparison to a block left exposed.
Atmospheric humidity is prevented from coming
5. Kraft Paper is reusable even greater savings
When OLMO Paper ® is used, the Kraft paper never
directly contact the polyurethane. The Kraft paper is
not damaged in any way and can be used again in
any number of valuable ways, such as wrapping
paper, storage or transportation. Yet another way that
OLMO Paper ® saves you money!
Kraft paper is reuseable for
instance as wrapping paper

into contact with the reacting Isocyanate, therefore
it helps to reduce scorching and in extreme cases,
risk of fire
● As a result of lower humidity penetration into the
foam bun a better top to bottom hardness distribution
is normally obtained
● The Polyethylene film will not allow moisture to
penetrate and destroy the Isocyanate, improving
the hardness value. This will dramatically reduce
the need of increasing Isocyanate index in the
humid season
● Thanks to the impermeable nature of the polyethylene
film the foam bun will not yellow as a
consequence of UV light exposure

Innovative Thinking
Regular competitions are also organised for
researchers and students at major European universities,
on the subject of new business ideas for the
paper and packaging industry.
Be sure to visit our Customer Zone at
www.mondiinnovation.com
At Mondi Packaging Coating, close cooperation with
customers in the development of new innovative
solutions has always been a top priority. For
instance, our long term partnership with DuPont in
the protective clothing industry has not only developed
into a multimillion m2 business, it has also led to
new extrusion coating applications for the building
industry.
Mondi Packaging Coating is committed to finding the
most innovative and effective product solutions
through ongoing increases in efficiency and deep
customer understanding.
Our Research & Development department and
dedicated application engineers work hand in hand
with our customers to provide optimal individual
solutions.
Let it be said…
It´s your idea that counts!
07
Mondi Packaging launched the Strategic Innovation Program (SIP)
to foster a culture of innovation within the group and to generate
breakthrough ideas that point the way towards profitable new areas
of business. A structured process to gather ideas was implemented,
including a procedure for submitting ideas, dedicated innovation
managers at every plant and an Internet based Innovation Zone,
where ideas can be discussed with experts and colleagues.
The program includes a Customer Zone, where all stakeholders –
from customers and suppliers to individual innovators – pursuing
the common goal of more innovative and efficient solutions are
invited to submit suggestions and ideas.
