COPACO paper products align with Cottrell Paper Company’s dual commitment to manufacturing precision and environmental responsibility.
COPACO materials are manufactured from high-quality cotton cuttings that undergo thorough cleaning and refinement to ensure maximum strength and purity. These specialty paper products contain no fillers or chemical additives (a design choice that directly improves durability and extends operational life).
What Sets COPACO Apart as a Leader in Specialty Paper Manufacturing and Industrial Materials
Columbus Paper Company (COPACO) has been managed by the Greenblatt family since 1933. The company maintains its reputation through consistent product quality and responsive customer service.
COPACO supplies high-quality everyday consumer products, including grocery bags, food service bags, and janitorial and laundry supplies. The company has also expanded its industrial paper products substantially.
COPACO’s electrical insulation pressboard offers proven durability through its resistance to tear and puncture, as well as its burst strength and dielectric properties. The material can be punched, folded, formed, and creased without compromising structural integrity.
The COPACO team stays current with evolving industry requirements and client needs while upholding strict environmental standards.
Core COPACO Paper Products Engineered for Demanding Industrial Applications and Electrical Systems
The strength and durability of COPACO products make them ideal for industrial applications. They are widely used for core and layer insulation in transformers, as well as in devices such as washers, gaskets, shielding, and barrier insulation.
COPACO’s blue-gray paper is becoming a staple in oil-filled distribution transformers as tap pads within the coil. The cotton-based cellulose paper offers superior puncture resistance when compared to other brands. The quality of COPACO papers also allows manufacturers to reduce the thickness of the tap pads while still maintaining the dielectric design requirements.
Companies that use COPACO products for insulation find they can build smaller coils, thereby reducing their copper, oil, and steel needs. Ultimately, the use of COPACO papers can lead to cost savings both from the reduced thickness and weight of the product and by prolonging the life of the product.
Real-World Applications Across Industries: Where COPACO Materials Make the Difference
The quality and durability of COPACO materials contribute to their adoption across multiple sectors. From transformer insulation to dielectric paper products, electrical applications to custom cellulose solutions, diverse industries depend on COPACO performance.
Electrical applications include insulation for transformers, motors, and generators. COPACO products deliver the dielectric strength, thermal stability, and adaptability these applications demand. Products that rely on electrical insulation paper include:
- Blower motors
- Cores
- Die cutting applications
- Drills
- Electric razors
- Hairdryers
- Kitchen appliances
- Power tools
- Safety shields on terminal struts
- Transformer parts
Non-electrical applications also require industrial paper that combines strength with adaptability. COPACO materials perform consistently under pressure, resist chemical exposure, and accommodate custom processing requirements. Examples include:
- Mechanical board
- Music rolls for player pianos
- Press packing for printing presses
