Plasterboard Liner

Kemsley Mill is one of Europe’s leading sites for the manufacture of 100% recycled plasterboard liners, with an annual production of up to 300,000 tonnes. Plasterboard liner is a technically demanding product that must perform well to ensure that the finished plasterboard is perfectly flat and free from visual defects.

A sophisticated pulping and fractionation process turns carefully-graded waste paper into a high-quality pulp. The resulting plasterboard liner has specific properties, including:

• The ability to expand within just the right tensile and cross-directional parameters
• Consistent colour
• Low-cost drying capability during plasterboard manufacture
• Reliable performance on the plasterboard machine
• A perfect surface for plaster without any fear of shelling

DS Smith Paper makes plasterboard liner in a full range of grammages (up to 240 gsm) and many colours, including grey and ivory.

Recent investments of over £30 million, including three new headboxes and two state-of-the-art pulping lines, have helped to establish DS Smith Paper as a leading European producer of plasterboard liner.

For plasterboard manufacturers in the UK or Europe who want a high quality liner with strong environmental credentials, DS Smith Paper is the ideal supplier.
