Paper-based Food Packaging
Solutions for Paper Based Food Packaging
Innovative solutions carefully designed for food contact compliance make Dow's RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings a perfect fit for most food packaging needs. RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings can be used on existing equipment, meaning there are no extra costs or waste in the manufacturing process.
RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings also supports heat sealability and recyclability. Repulping studies have shown that more than 99% of paper fibers can be recovered and recycled when using select RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings grades.
Dow’s RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings for pet food
Gone are the days of feeling guilty about using takeaway coffee cups. Our RHOBARR™ Barrier Dispersions create a liquid barrier that effectively protects against leaking, a must for hot and cold drinks everywhere, while still allowing products to be recycled due to the thin barrier layer. This innovative technology was also created to use up to 70% less raw material than incumbent products, reducing the overall environmental footprint of the packaging.
RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings for stand-up pouches
There has been a rapid growth in the desire for flexible, stand-up packaging pouches, as they are convenient, self-standing, and often resealable. The current market also sees consumers viewing the quality of a product to be equally as important as the sustainability of its packaging. RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings allow effective protection of products using stand up pouch packaging, while also providing enhanced recyclability and repulpability.
RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings for boxed dry goods
In some regions, the ink on shelf stable food boxes contains mineral oils that are not suitable for consumption, and a protective barrier coating is needed to stop these oils from leeching onto the product. This is where Dow comes in. Our RHOBARR™ 214 Emulsion has been proven to block all saturation of the underlying board when exposed to a variety of oils and greases.
