Graukarton
Product information of the company:
Grey board is manufactured in 4 grades: 69, 72, 80 and 95 (with increasing surface smoothness). The most commonly used grade is grey board 72. The number of the grade indicates the specific gravity, for example GK 69 = 0.69 g/cm³.
Grey board is an interesting product. Beginning with its raw material - 100% recycled paper. Carelessly thrown away it would be a nuisance, but purposefully collected and carefully processed at Merckens it becomes a material with limitless possibilities - recognised with the environmental label "Blue Angel" and the FSC.
Grey board is invisible in many everyday objects, but gives inner strength and lasting stability.
