Description
OPGSAO SHIELD WB EMULSION Coating Chemical
Water-based barrier and functional coatings are a suitable replacement to polyethylene, especially for paper cups, paper packaging, including disposable-food take out boxes. However, disposable paper products are a significant sustainability issue because, contrary to common belief, they are not recyclable. Their plastic lining ensures that they rarely make it to a recycling plant, and they are not biodegradable.
Current paper Products are made out of paper and are coated with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or wax to prevent liquid from leaking out or soaking through the paper.
Replacing the PE in paper cups, paper packaging and disposable-food take out boxes and many more products with water-based coatings not only eliminates the plastic lining used in conventional paper products but also eases the recycling and re-pulping process. Along with its recyclable and repulpable properties, it also provides excellent water, oil, and grease resistance and very high seal strength. It has been tested successfully for hot, cold, and deep-freeze applications.
This solution is suitable for frozen foods, hot and cold beverages, fried snacks, etc.
The benefits of OPGSAO SHIELD WB EMULSION and functional coatings as a replacement to polyethylene:
- Water-based, green chemistry
- Recyclability and repulpability
- Water, oil, and grease resistance
- Oxygen and moisture barrier.
- Heat seal-able
- FDA compliant options
- Down-gauging
