BIM Barrier

Plastic and PFAS free barrier treatment for recyclable and compostable properties.

Packaging materials produced from paper and board are essential tools for enabling the reduction in our dependency on polluting plastics by substituting with more sustainable alternatives. With our unique knowledge of pulp, papermaking and converting, BIM is your perfect partner in the development of a sustainable and greener future for our planet.

BIM’s green chemistry is designed to eliminate the need for plastic in all types of packaging, from food to cosmetics, while
making recycling and fibre reclamation easier and more economical, enabling circularity through the recovery
and re-use of our resources.

BIM’s range of barrier coatings are all waterbased dispersions and contain no VOC or solvents. The programme can also be tailored with other speciality chemicals from BIM to add additional functions.

Application can be achieved with all conventional
coating methods in-line or off-line with the tailoring of viscosity and rheology to optimise production on each type of asset
