Make your packaging
truly recyclable
without changing your machinery
Plastic isn't the problem — the combinations that block recycling are. We replace non-recyclable laminates on paper and board, and simplify flexible packaging toward recyclable mono-material structures, with FDA and BfR compliant water-based coatings.

Compostable
Implement coatings with BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certification.
Coatings adapted to your projects
High-quality sustainable alternatives, representing leading global market suppliers.
Which coating do you need?
Two questions, one direct technical recommendation.
Know our process
An efficient structure designed to guarantee success from idea to industrial production.
Concept
We understand requirements, budget, and timelines with a specialized team.
Research
Lab tests to formulate the exact solution.
Validation
Pilot tests to validate solutions on your actual materials.
Implementation
Production line support for the final launch.
Tell us about your process through our application form
Share your substrate, line setup, barrier target, and commercial context in one place. That lets our team recommend the right solution faster and with better precision.
Available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese so your technical team can complete it easily.
What we evaluate from the start
Process and machinery
Application system, line speed, drying conditions, and machine setup.
Performance targets
Barrier, sealing, friction, printing, and validation requirements.
Project context
Substrate, pack content, expected volume, and urgency.
Compliance that backs your packaging
Don't take our word for it: we work with grades approved for food contact and validated for recyclability.
FDA
Grades approved for direct food contact (USA)
BfR
Compliant with German and EU food-contact recommendations
PTS
Repulpability validated with the PTS method on selected lines
Coaterex Support
Technical guidance, compliance documentation, and traceability for every project
Approvals apply per product. Request the compliance documentation for the specific grade for your application.
Request a sample or talk to an engineer
Tell us what you need to protect and on which substrate. An engineer replies within 24 business hours and, when the application allows it, we arrange a sample so you can validate on your own line.
