Efficient and effective coatings

An unfortunate side effect of take-out meals delivered in paper or cardboard containers, is that food oil and grease leaks into the packaging, creating complications in the recycling process. Our ultra-thin, RHOBARR™ Barrier Coatings are engineered to support the same barrier performance you’re used to, while also being better for the planet. They offer an effective oil, grease, and moisture barrier that addresses the demands of hot and cold takeout food items, while the ultra-thin coating is designed to enable enhanced recyclability.
