Formable Solid Bleached Board

Inverform is a multi layered solid bleached board (SBB) product, entirely based on fresh fibres. Specific fibre compositions are used for the various layers in the construction to optimise performance. The outer layers are dominated by hardwood fibres to promote smoothness and printability. The middle layer consists of softwood fibres for strength, flexibility and formability.

Product description

Inverform with a Bio E coating has been specially developed for ready-made food packaging. Bio E offers an option which relies less on fossil based resources compared to conventional barriers. It is commonly used for pressed and folded food trays as well as for cups and containers. Bio E is made from 75 per cent renewable raw materials and is approved for industrial composting. The material is suitable for applications where biodegradability is desired. The bio-based coating is both liquid and grease resistant and fulfils requirements for food contact. The polymer is heat sealable. It conforms to the European Standard regarding compostability, EN 13432, and also works well in most recycling systems.

The Surface tension level can be affected after delivery by conditions beyond our control. Regarding Adhesion, the scale is 1–6. (6 = the best possible adhesion on the concerned surface).

Test method

All properties are measured in test climate 23°C/50% RH at Iggesund mill. Tolerances and max/min levels, when stated, are based upon 95% confidence interval within each production run. Read more about testing methods in our section about General Technical Information.
