About all available packaging coating solutions.
Water-resistant barrier packaging coating
When you are looking to package moisture-sensitive foodstuffs such as sugar, flour, and dry animal food a packaging coating that protects against water is important. Let us introduce you to the latest developments in this area.
The use of water repellent barrier coating for packaging
Water repellent barrier coatings enable papermakers to produce plastic-free, paraffin-free, environmentally friendly, paper packaging. It is specifically interesting for packaging moisture-sensitive foodstuffs such as sugar, flour, and dry animal food but also suitable for applications in the non-food sector, for example, cement packaging and secondary packaging for copy paper.
Plastic barrier coating versus water based barrier coating
Product packaging is often made of plastic or it has a thin plastic coating to make the packaging water or grease resistant. Unfortunately, much of that plastic ends up in our environment and eventually in our water and food supply. Especially singe-use plastic packaging has become a global problem. Paper packaging that uses a water based barrier coating can be recycled in established paper recycling systems, is suitable for all kinds of paper and board and creates an effective barrier against moisture, oil, grease and heat.
Tailor made barrier coating for packaging
The formula and coating system is made to match not only the food, beverage or product content but also technical requirements of production (for example the sterilization process) and EU or US or global and local requirements. We can help you find the right coating specialist to manufacture a barrier coating that works specifically for your product.
