Oil-Resistant Solutions for Food Packaging

Ultramid, a polyamide by BASF, has been used to date for applications including oxygen-barrier, multilayer packaging systems to keep meat and cheese fresh. It is suitable for use as a barrier coating both for cardboard packaging and as an inner packaging component in bag-in-box systems. The water-based dispersion Epotal A816 is also suitable for film coating and hence for use as a barrier layer in bag-in-box systems.

Specially developed water-based acrylate dispersions are available for paper and cardboard coatings. A variety of paper and cardboard grades coated with these products on a lab and pilot plant scale have exhibited good barrier properties against mineral oils. The new dispersions are also effective barriers against native fats and oils as well as flavorings. Preparations for industrial-scale product testing are ongoing. Developed for compatibility with the cardboard production process, these products are designed to provide easily implementable solutions with established technologies. Ecovio FS Paper is a biodegradable plastic suitable for manufacturing coatings both for cardboard and biodegradable film packaging systems. This product complies with European standard EN13432 for compostible packaging, offering an alternative disposal pathway for certified paper and cardboard packaging in addition to recycling.
