High-biobased waterborne PUD coating for fiber-based food packaging
Introducing a high-biobased-content waterborne PUD emulsion coating for fiber-based food packaging. This innovative coating enhances moisture, grease, and oil resistance while maintaining sustainability. Ideal for upgrading paper packaging performance with a bio-based solution.
Overview
The high-biobased waterborne polyurethane dispersion (PUD) coating is a cutting-edge solution designed for fiber-based food packaging. This innovative coating forms a uniform, adherent, and flexible barrier layer on paper and paperboard substrates, significantly improving their resistance to moisture, grease, oil, and surface damage. The use of a high biobased-content formulation aligns with sustainability goals, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional coatings. This solution is particularly suited for demanding food-packaging applications where durability and resistance are crucial.
Technical specifications
- Compatibility: Designed for use with paper, paperboard, and molded-fiber substrates, ensuring seamless integration into existing industrial coating and converting operations.
- Performance enhancements: Offers superior moisture resistance, grease/oil resistance, adhesion, flexibility, crack resistance, and surface durability.
- Sustainability: Utilizes a high biobased-content formulation, supporting eco-friendly packaging initiatives.
- Scalability: The coating can be applied using scalable methods, optimizing coat weight and drying conditions to meet industrial requirements.
Technology readiness level
Currently, the technology is at TRL 3, involving active research and development. The solution is undergoing formulation design and optimization. Future plans include application testing, performance evaluation using packaging-relevant metrics, and refinement for manufacturability. These steps aim to prepare the technology for pilot or trial validation with packaging partners.
