Barriers and coatings

Foil, film and plastic coatings can be added to paperboard material to enhance its performance for the intended end-use.

適切なバリアによる付加価値

バリアとコーティングには、パッケージを製造する際に複数の利点があります。最終用途に応じて、湿気や紫外線に対する保護、耐熱性、シール性など、用途に適したバリアが選択されます。

広範な製品開発と最新の工場設備のおかげで、最終製品に使用されるプラスチックの量を最小限に抑えることが可能です。化石由来の材料と比較して、薄いプラスチックバリアにより、製品の二酸化炭素排出量を削減することができます。

板紙をキャリアとして使用し、バリアを使用することで、プラスチックの使用量を同等の硬質プラスチック容器に必要な量の約5分の1に減らすことができます。

薄いバリアは、板紙のパッケージの内容物が保護されていることを確認するために必要なすべてです。

技術的な詳細

バリアには、光沢またはマットのさまざまな仕上げが施されています。表面仕上げの選択は、アプリケーションのプロパティと変換プロセスによって異なります。表面は、変換プロセスで供給シートやブランクをブロックするリスクを減らすこともできます。当社の最も一般的なバリアの典型的な値は、ASTM F-1249/DIN 53122(水蒸気透過性)およびASTM D-3985/DIN 53380(酸素透過性)に従ってテストされています。 

Plastic coating

Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene (PE) coated paperboard is suitable for disposable cups or packaging for frozen foods, meat products, and chocolate. The PE barrier also provides a simple yet efficient way to heat seal end-products.

Plastic coating

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) barriers provide good sealability, as well as acting as an excellent oxygen and fat barrier. It is extremely temperature resistant and highly suitable for applications such as PET coated dual-ovenable food trays.

Biodegradable packaging

Bio E

The Bio E barrier is based on renewable resources and adapted for organic recovery through composting or anaerobic digestion. The material is suitable for applications where biodegradability is desired.

Foil laminate

Alubarrier

Alubarrier is the densest barrier in the portfolio and is commonly used for sensitive products like crisps, ice cream and cereals. Extrusion-laminating the aluminium foil makes the board practically impermeable to light, moisture, flavours, and gases.
