Biomaterial Coatings for Making Green Barrier Paper to Hold the Flag High
Manufacturers of the barrier coated papers market are taking relentless efforts to develop bio-based materials, to replace petroleum-based polymer coatings. Coating technologies such as slide covering and curtain processes could create ample opportunities about increasing the efficiency and cost viability of the process.
Bio-based materials, particularly water-based or solvent-based coatings, and innovative product designs are getting high preference over traditional packaging. These eco-friendly attributes of barrier coated papers are anticipated to gain traction worldwide.
Paraffin Wax to Act as a Restraint against Barrier Coatings for Paper Packaging
The use of paraffin wax is hindering the call for environmental friendliness. The key players are trying to replace it with reusable paper. As such, the restraint is bound to get eliminated to a great extent going forward with a compostable barrier coating. However, it would take some time to eliminate paraffin wax as not all customers consider barrier coated papers as a better product.
