Automotive papers contain resins that improve strength and provide resistance to moisture and temperature. The paper usually requires some form of curing process.
HRH grades are available in the following resin categories:
Standard-Cure: Phenolic or Water based resins. Curing is by oven (usually 10 minutes at 150ºC) and sometimes pre-heating.
Low-Energy: A development that reduces the amount of volatile emissions present in some standard cure processes. Process requires less energy, (usually 2 - 3 minutes at 130ºC) during the curing process. With escalating electricity charges the end user benefits from a cost saving. Some grades are water resistant, or even washable.
No-Cure: These resins (e.g. Polyvinyl acetate) are used in applications where temperature and moisture resistance are not critical factors, e.g. Automotive Air. No curing is required, and extra heating has no effect on strength. These grades can be warmed by infra-red lamps to enhance pleat sharpness. The advantages of no-cure paper include: Lower installation & production costs and less floorspace required as no oven is required.
Environmental advantages of Water-based resins: Less energy required for curing, less (or no) phenol emissions, reduced odours and an improved workplace.
