paper coatings
Paper, not plastic…
One would be hard pressed to think of a material that has been more closely linked to the progress of humanity than paper. Readily available, economical, printable, renewable, recyclable, biodegradable… on and on it goes… The intrinsic properties of paper enable its use in many aspects of our lives.
The substitution of plastic in packaging and food service applications has left the world reeling in its wake. The environmental impact of improperly disposed plastic products has created a crisis that cannot be ignored. The development of high performing biobased coatings for paper is critically important to stemming the plastic tide.
Biobased wax emulsions are available that can improve the barrier and slip properties of paper. These are used as components of a coating or incorporated at the paper mill. Whether you are looking to improve the slip properties for high speed printing of a specialty paper or the water resistance and “mouth feel” of a paper straw, Eurica Group can help.
