Oil Proofing Agent

Meet your challenges head on with our proven solutions.

In recent years, consumers have become more and more concerned about the impact of their products on the environment, and the market demand for sustainable paper and paperboard packaging has continued to increase. This trend has had a significant impact on paper and paperboard packaging manufacturers, who have been forced to switch from barrier coatings containing polyethylene, paraffin-based waxes, silicones and fluorinated chemicals to more environmentally friendly barrier coatings, especially in the food and beverage packaging industry.

Our extensive range of barrier coatings for paper and paperboard protects against water, water vapor, cold and hot liquids, and grease. These barrier coatings are produced from the top renewable raw materials currently in common use and can be used as water-based polymer emulsions or solid bio-waxes. Most importantly, paper and paperboard coated with these barrier coatings are usually repulpable, recyclable, compostable and biodegradable, allowing paper and paperboard packaging manufacturers to create a sustainable brand image that brand owners, retailers and consumers will recognize.

CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS

Oil Proofing Agent

We provide a complete range of barrier coating formulations to accommodate a variety of paper and paperboard packaging products, including paper cups, fast food wrappers and corrugated boxes. These coating formulations are easily modified to accommodate a variety of end-use requirements such as printability, flexibility and glueability.

  • Fluoride-free Barrier emulsion(pulp)
  • Fluoride-free Barrier emulsion(surface)
  • Fluoride based oil proofing agent
  • Water proofing agent
  • Acrylic emulsion(food grade)

MONITORING & CONTROL SOLUTIONS

Most of our barrier coatings can be applied using typical paper machine coaters, off-machine coaters and printing presses. Coating formulations can be modified as required for use on a wide variety of coating applicators, including:

  • Puddle size presses
