TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

SC-B = super-calendered class B

SC-B paper is a super-calendered paper with brightness in class B. The surface becomes smooth without any added coating thanks to the calendering process. Calendering is somewhat similar to ironing, where the paper is pressed between hot rollers with steam under high pressure. The primary ingredient of our paper, the fresh fibre, has a strength and elasticity that enables you to go for a very low grammage paper if you like. The paper has a natural feel to it with a softer brightness, ISO 65 to ISO 68. The opacity is between 89 and 92 percent also in the lighter weights.
