Resistant board

Our Resistant Cardboard (RCB) line is a one-of-a-kind offering on the Russian market. This innovative corrugated board is distinguished by excellent barrier capabilities helping it preserve its physical and mechanical properties when exposed to an environment where standard board would fail.

RESISTANT CARDBOARD BENEFITS

  • all the inherent advantages of regular corrugated packaging are still there – the material’s tactile properties and appearance are the same;
  • packaging strength is dramatically improved at minimum extra cost, and some designs are even available for the standard price;
  • the packaging’s basis weight can be reduced;
  • completely safe products with test reports from accredited laboratories, allowing its use for food packaging without direct contact with food;
  • environmentally friendly packaging that is recyclable and easy to dispose of.

RCB line products have their own branding: a separate logo and individual emblems are used to distinguish each type of material.

PCBK has started mass production of the water-, oil- and fire-resistant series — Water-RCB, Oil-RCB and Fire-RCB. Our main production facilities are located in Perm, but the company supplies products throughout the Russian Federation.

The RCB brand of special-application boards won the Lesprom National Russian Forest Industry Award as Innovation of the Year.

WATER-RCB WATER-RESISTANT BOARD
MAINTAINS PACKAGING STRENGTH WHEN DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO WATER

Water-resistant board packaging has higher strength properties when wet compared to similar grades of regular board. In an environment with a humidity of 70 to 95% it preserves the integrity and appearance much longer.

This is what makes the packaging produced from Water-RCB corrugated board versatile. It is equally suitable for packaging of dry, moist and frozen products.

The barrier properties are created by adding special agents into the paper stock in the process of manufacturing the water-resistant linerboard and fluting. Hydrophobic agents are used for gluing the layers together to ensure that the adhesive is also waterproof.

BECAUSE OF ITS PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES WATER-RESISTANT BOARD CAN BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS:

  • Packing fresh fruits and vegetables,
  • As container packaging for chilled and frozen foods (sausages, dairy products, frozen meat and fish),
  • When directly exposed to water, in a high humidity environment, for storage in unheated or outdoor warehouses,
  • Under long-time dynamic loads.

WATER-RCB CORRUGATED BOARD LABORATORY TESTS

  • A comparison of water-resistant board samples demonstrated that at 95% humidity the upper strength level (ECT) is 30% higher than that of regular corrugated board.

OIL-RCB OIL-RESISTANT BOARD
IMPERMEABLE TO FATS AND OILS

It has been experimentally proven that oil-resistant board packaging withstands the exposure to oil and moisture for up to 10 days. The oil-resistant effect is achieved by introducing special protective agents into the board. As a result, the pores typical for regular paper become impermeable to fats and oils.

In many cases, oil-resistant board replaces PE-laminated cardboard, but unlike the latter, it is a monomaterial and, therefore, easily recyclable.

Using Oil-RCB for the inner layer of the corrugated box eliminates the need for polyethylene and parchment linings and allows to maintain an excellent appearance of the packaging.

BECAUSE OF ITS PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OIL-RESISTANT BOARD CAN BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS:

  • As a wrapper for low-fat, high-water food (raw meat, raw fish, and frozen fish packaging),
  • For packaging solid products with a high fat content (butter, solid vegetable and synthetic fats, meat and sausage products, hard cheeses, baked and confectionary products, fatty fast food, fried and baked products),
  • Under long-time dynamic loads.
FIRE-RCB FIRE-RESISTANT BOARD
DOES NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION

When exposed to open fire, Fire-RCB does not begin to burn; it is only partially charred. This way the packaging made of fire resistant corrugated board can protect almost any items. In terms of construction materials manufacture, Fire-RCB board is a non-combustible component.

BECAUSE OF ITS PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES FIRE-RESISTANT BOARD CAN BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS:

  • For the manufacture of furniture, facing slabs, partitions, etc.,
  • As container packaging for flammable products (oils, paints, fuels and lubricants),
  • For long-term storage materials (archives, documents).
