Barriers for paper & board
Barrier coatings enhance paper and board packaging by providing moisture, grease, and oxygen resistance, improving shelf life and offering a sustainable, recyclable alternative to plastic. They boost durability, printability, and heat-sealing, crucial for food and consumer goods, while also strengthening packaging and reducing environmental impact.
Sustainable barrier coatings
Sustainable barrier coatings provide eco-friendly protection for packaging by enhancing moisture, grease, and oxygen resistance without relying on traditional plastic films. These coatings improve recyclability and composability while maintaining product freshness and shelf life. Ideal for food and consumer goods packaging, they reduce reliance on non-renewable materials and support circular economy goals. With innovative water-based or bio-based formulations, sustainable barrier coatings offer high-performance solutions that meet regulatory and environmental demands, ensuring both functionality and sustainability in modern packaging applications.
Vegetable wax emulsions
Vegetable wax emulsions are eco-friendly coatings that enhance packaging by providing moisture, grease, abrasion resistance and improved slip properties.. Derived from renewable sources, they improve surface properties while supporting recyclability and compostability. Ideal for food packaging, they offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic coatings, ensuring product protection while meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.
Copolymer dispersions
Copolymer dispersions are water-based emulsions offering excellent adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance. In packaging applications, they enhance low temperature heat sealability, improve adhesion to various substrates, and provide strong resistance to grease, moisture, and chemicals. These dispersions are widely used in food packaging, flexible laminates, and coatings, ensuring durability and product protection. Their eco-friendly, solvent-free nature supports sustainable packaging solutions, making them ideal for high-performance applications in industries demanding environmental responsibility.
