White Paper
For packaging that must provide a barrier effect, solutions such as conventional PE, silicone or fluorochemical barriers are still widely used in the industry. However, due to their poor recyclability, these materials represent a major drawback in terms of sustainability. This white paper examines an alternative in the form of water-based barrier coatings for paper and board converters.
Material health certification
FoodSafe coatings form the basis to produce legally compliant food packaging. They are formulated from a tested raw material matrix, enabling the entire FoodSafe range to be awarded the Gold level Material Health Certificate by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. FoodSafe is our portfolio of water-based coatings for the direct food contact, at least with dry and fat-including foods.
Technical Article
TPE is establishing itself as an alternative to conventional sealing materials in many sealing applications. As part of extensive developments, solutions such as TPE stoppers are now also available for the pharmaceutical and medical sectors - following products for the food sector - as an alternative to those made of butyl rubber and answer current questions.

Environmentally friendly replacement
Substances such as oil, fat or water have a strong influence on the quality of packaging. They attack the substrate, can damage the printing ink or impair the filling good. A barrier is therefore essential in many cases. Until now, multiple layer substrates have mainly been used as a barrier for packaging. Regarding sustainability, environmental and climate protection, however, it is important to avoid such composites. This is where alternative barrier solutions come into consideration.
Sustainability
The idea of sustainability is becoming ever more important, also in printing and with regard to overprint varnishes. This White Paper focuses on the ecological dimension of sustainability, on sustainable material purchasing and the significance of bio-based coatings.
