Barrier Coatings in Paper Packaging: Water-Resistant Bio-Polymers vs. PE Lamination

Paper cups and cosmetic boxes traditionally rely on PE plastic film coatings that prevent repulping.

Waterborne Dispersion Coatings

Aqueous polymer dispersions provide water and grease resistance while remaining 100% repulpable in standard paper recycling mills.

Grease Resistance Kit Rating

Engineered bio-coatings achieve Kit 7-9 grease barrier performance without utilizing harmful perfluorinated PFAS chemicals.
