Innovative chemistries, advanced monitoring and control systems, and expert support for your barrier coating challenges.
Barrier coatings are essential in reducing plastic pollution by enabling fiber-based alternatives to fulfill critical functions traditionally managed by plastics. These coatings provide paper with essential barrier properties—such as oil and grease resistance—while maintaining the highest standards of product performance and environmental sustainability.
By bridging environmental goals with performance demands, barrier coatings are vital for industries transitioning to paper-based solutions.
