In the world of paper tubes and cores, surface quality and product performance matter. That’s why silicone-coated cover greaseproof covers continue to be a popular choice across a wide range of manufacturing applications and specialty tube products.
At Yazoo Mills, greaseproof materials are used when customers need a smooth, durable, and fiber-free surface that performs reliably in demanding environments.
What makes Greaseproof Covers unique?
The primary characteristics of greaseproof used on Yazoo tubes and cores are their uniform surface and fiber freedom. These qualities make it an excellent option for applications where cleanliness and consistency are critical.
When a surface is required that will not allow paper fiber to rub off onto the product, greaseproof is an ideal solution. Its smooth finish helps reduce contamination while maintaining a professional appearance and dependable performance.
The Appearance of a Seamless Core
Another major advantage of greaseproof is its ability to create the appearance of a seamless core. While the product is not truly seamless, the overlap is extremely minimal and suitable for the majority of seamless core applications.
This clean, refined appearance is especially valuable in industries where presentation, precision winding, or surface consistency are important.
Performance Benefits of Greaseproof Covers
Greaseproof offers several inherent properties that make it highly versatile across manufacturing environments, including:
- Excellent wet strength
- Grease and solvent holdout
- Strong dielectric properties
- Freedom from fiber transfer
- Resistance to mold
These features allow greaseproof-covered cores to perform well in both industrial and specialty applications.
Applications Across Industries
Greaseproof-covered tubes and cores are commonly used across a wide variety of industries, including tape and adhesive converting, yarn and textile manufacturing, specialty winding applications, and industrial converting processes.
In tape core applications, greaseproof provides natural release properties that help improve performance during winding and unwinding operations. For applications requiring even greater release performance, silicone-coated cover options are also available.
In yarn and textile manufacturing, greaseproof-covered tubes help provide a smooth, clean winding surface while reducing paper fiber contamination and maintaining consistent product quality.
Beyond industrial uses, greaseproof has found its way into specialty tube products as well. One unique application includes toy tubes for small animals such as birds, hamsters, and other pets, where cleanliness and durability are especially important.
Available Colors
Greaseproof covers are available in a variety of colors to meet branding, identification, or product differentiation needs, including:
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Tan
- White
- Black
