Barrier Coatings for Paper Packaging

Barrier coatings are used to restrict the flow of oil, grease, water, oxygen or moisture through a variety of materials in order to offer better protection. The ability to control this flow is very useful in many applications, especially packaging. Such coatings are used in a variety of packaging materials including those used in packaging of food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, liquid, etc.Coating on a paper cup, for instance, should be safe for direct food contact, should be able to keep the fluids inside the cup and have sealability to form paper cups in order to effectively replace polyethylene.

Similarily, single use plastic packaging should be able to keep oxygen out in order to keep food stuff inside it safe. Empowera provides a range of FDA & EU regulation approved products which help create packaging that ensures safety and quality while protecting consumer health.
