Archroma Cartaseal OGB F10 PFAS-free barrier coating

Archroma has launched the Cartaseal OGB F10 PFAS-free barrier coating for oil and grease applications.

The water-based oil- and grease-resistant barrier coating is designed to enable papermakers to provide sustainable packaging by replacing fluoro-based substances and polyethylene with a recyclable and repulpable coating. It is FDA and BfR compliant, making it suitable for the manufacturing of paper and board for food and non-food contact.

Key features include: good oil and grease barrier for freshness of packaged goods; good oil and grease resistance even when folding; and recyclable and repulpable.

Suitable for folding box board and flexible paper packaging applications, the coating is designed to facilitate easy recycling and repulping processes. As it contains bio-based raw materials, it can help brands and papermakers with sustainability by minimising reliance on oil-based substances.
