Application case
A new packaging that combines layers of coated bio-material and compostable paper
Coathink™ provides the high-performance barrier to oxygen and moisture.
- OTR < 0.5 cc/m2 24h | WVTR < 1.8 g/ m2 24h
- Paper outer layer
- Certified compostable according to EN13432
- High quality printing
At the heart of the high-barrier packaging is SAES Coated Films’ BXM product, a heat-sealable compostable film coated and metallized with patented Coathink® technology. The film is used as an inner layer and is laminated with an outer layer of compostable paper, giving consumers the distinctive touch&feel of a natural material.
Thanks to Coathink™, the packaging has exceptional barrier properties that meet the requirements for the protection of long shelf-life food products:
- OTR (23 °C, 0% RH) below 0,5 cc/m2 24h
- WVTR (22°C, 50% RH) below 0,5 g/m2 24h.
The packaging has received certification according to EN 13432 for industrial compostability, and after use can be safely and conveniently recovered in the organic waste bin.
