Flexible packaging

Advanced barriers for oxygen, aroma, and grease

Replace costly, hard-to-recycle layers like EVOH or PVDC. Our water-based functional coatings offer transparent, flexible protection against oxygen, aromas, and mineral oils, enabling fully recyclable monomaterial structures.

Advanced barriers for oxygen, aroma, and grease

What it delivers

  • OTR < 0.8 cc/m²/day on films and < 3 cc/m²/day on paper.
  • Dual function: protective topcoat or metallization primer.
  • Crystal clarity preserved for product visibility.
  • Compatible with monomaterial PE, PP, and paper structures.
  • FDA-compliant formulations for indirect food contact.

Where it works best

Film

Mono-PE and mono-PP pouches, lidding films, and flow-wrap formats requiring transparent oxygen and aroma protection.

Paper

Repulpable paper structures for dry foods, snacks, and confectionery — replacing the foil or EVOH layer with a water-based barrier coating.
