Barriers for flexible films
Eurikas is offering coatings for oxygen, moisture, grease barrier as well as adhesion promotors, and barrier boosters. Coatings on flexible films enhance their performance, providing essential protection and functionality for packaging applications.
Key advantages include
Barrier protection
Improves resistance to moisture, oxygen, and gases, extending product shelf life.
Enhanced mechanical properties
Increases strength, flexibility, and durability while maintaining lightweight packaging.
Improved heat resistance
Enables heat-sealing and withstands high temperatures during processing and storage.
Grease and chemical resistance
Prevents contamination from oils, fats, and chemicals, crucial for food and pharmaceutical packaging.
Better printability & aesthetics
Provides a smooth, uniform surface for high-quality printing and branding.
Sustainability benefits
Reduces the need for multi-layer plastic structures, improving recyclability and environmental impact.
Anti-fog & anti-static properties
Enhances product visibility and prevents dust accumulation.
Coatings help optimize flexible film packaging by balancing protection, functionality, and sustainability.
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.
Polyurethane dispersions
Polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) are water-based coatings used in packaging for their excellent flexibility, adhesion, oxygen barrier and abrasion resistance. They provide superior barrier properties against moisture, grease, and chemicals, enhancing the durability of flexible and rigid packaging. PUDs are eco-friendly, low-VOC alternatives to solvent-based coatings, supporting sustainability while maintaining high performance in food, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging applications.
Mitsui Takelacâ„¢ dispersions are high-performance, water-based polyurethane resins providing excellent adhesion, flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability. They enhance coatings and adhesives while being eco-friendly, low-VOC, and ideal for diverse industrial applications.
