Solenis, a leading global provider of water and hygiene solutions, is exhibiting at two key industry tradeshows, where it will highlight technology to enable paperization through chemistry for sustainable packaging.
The company will be exhibiting at FACHPACK in Nuremberg, Germany, Sept. 23-25, in booth 4A-342, and at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 29-Oct. 1, in booth SU-29069
- Flexographic applied barrier coatings: Packaging producers can apply these eco-friendly, high-performance barrier coatings directly to cupstock board, flexible packaging, flat sheet paper and liners for corrugated using standard flexographic equipment during the printing process. Developed in conjunction with HEIDELBERG, this cost-effective process eliminates the need for separate offline coating steps while reducing the use of plastic-based coatings or wax treatments.
- PHA-based coatings: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) coatings, which are made with biodegradable bioplastic, replace petroleum-based options. Made to work with flexographic and extrusion processes, the water-based solutions degrade in both marine and fresh water and are home compostable.
- TopScreenTM barrier coatings: With water- and bio-wax based formulations, this family of customizable coatings gives manufacturers compliant, functional options that protect against oil, water and grease — without polyethylene (PE) films, intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or paraffins.
- TopScreenTM cupstock barrier coatings: These eco-friendly coatings replace PE lamination on single-use and short-duration cupstock. Applied with standard coating and cup-forming equipment, they deliver the same performance and printability as traditional barrier coatings.
- ContourSM technology for molded pulp: Oil and grease resistant, Contour is formulated for molded pulp plates, bowls, tubs and trays in low- to mid-temperature applications. This technology offers a cost-competitive, easy-to-implement solution without intentionally added PFAS.
