The Aquaseal™ packaging coatings range from Paramelt is based on a unique, proprietary, high-solids mechanical dispersion technology. This platform enables the production of water-based dispersions of high molecular weight, thermoplastic polyolefins and styrene block copolymers in water.
These unique polymer dispersions bring significant advantages over existing solvent-based lacquers, water-based emulsions and extrusion coatings for the conversion of paper, film and foil.
Because these dispersions can be applied using conventional coating and printing techniques, much lower coating weights can be achieved while the microstructure of the coated layer makes functionalised papers readily repulpable allowing such structures to be directly recycled via existing waste streams.
Numerous applications such as sachets for condiments, sugar and tea bags, point-of-sale pouches and wrapping sheets, barrier sack paper and cheese wrap and many more.
