AQUABarrier FoodGrade BioHybrid (Soon available)

AQUABARRIER FoodGrade BioHybrid is a partially bio-based water-based barrier coating designed for food packaging made from paper, cardboard, natural fibres and thermoformed pulp. It provides an excellent barrier against water (Cobb) and water vapour (MVTR) and high resistance to oils and fats, making it suitable for direct contact with solid foods at room temperature, refrigerated and frozen.

Key properties:

• Excellent barrier to water and water vapour, with low Cobb and MVTR values.
• High resistance to oils and fats.
• Good flexibility, adhesion and rub resistance (SATRA).
• Limited reprinting and heat sealing.
• Low VOC and low odour.
• Free from BPA, APEO, formaldehyde, phthalates and heavy metals.
• Compatible with recyclable and repulpable packaging.
• Not classified as dangerous goods for transport.

Applications: Ideal for direct, indirect or occasional contact with food in single-use food packaging, especially for paper, cardboard, thermoformed pulp and other vegetable fibre packaging. Sustainable alternative to polyethylene and aluminium films.

Application method: Applicable by flexography, gravure, anilox rollers, curtain, industrial spray, airless or air-mix. Forced drying (hot air, IR) is recommended for best results.
