en.Wedoany.com Reported - Henkel Adhesive Technologies has recently expanded its portfolio of paper coatings with the addition of water-based barrier and heat-seal coatings, aimed at enhancing the sealability, barrier properties, and recyclability-by-design of paper-based packaging. This solution is suitable for both primary and secondary packaging, covering applications such as bags, pouches, and shipping packaging for dry foods, hygiene products, and small accessories.
It is reported that these water-based barrier and heat-seal coatings can provide tailored protection against grease, water, and moisture for different products, and can achieve strong seals on paper-based materials. The relevant products have been approved in accordance with EU and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food contact regulations, while also supporting pulpability for recycling and recovery.
Henkel states that these water-based barrier and heat-seal coatings can help manufacturers and brands meet upcoming packaging regulatory requirements, including the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Dr. Arianna Savini, European Market Strategy Manager for Paper Packaging at the company, said: "With our expanded portfolio of paper coatings, we are able to offer paper-based packaging that meets current market demands. By providing the necessary barrier and sealing properties for a wide range of applications in both food and non-food sectors, we not only support the transition to recyclable packaging solutions but also help our customers achieve their sustainability goals within the PPWR framework."
Henkel had previously introduced the Loctite Liofol CS 7106 RE cold seal solution, which can form seals without the need for heating, suitable for some secondary packaging that previously relied on plastic structures. Meanwhile, Henkel Adhesive Technologies is collaborating with Sekab, planning to replace traditional ethyl acetate with bio-based alternatives in adhesive production to promote renewable product formulations and reduce climate footprint.
