RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings for construction

Today’s consumer products rely on traditional approaches to packaging design with a fixed set of construction options. The versatility and breadth of RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings allows them to be used in single layer applications but can unlock endless possibilities when combined through multiple layered constructions. RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings are not only resistant to a multitude of substances, but they can also support a foundational or protective layer to other coatings to support the broadest range of function.
