TAPPICON 2023

With the growing consumer awareness on climate change and plastic pollution, food packaging is evolving and turning towards the paper industry for solutions. This global trend towards plastic replacement offers huge opportunities but also new challenges. We must take very seriously the consumer and regulatory demand for safer products, in particular in the area of water and grease barriers where fluorine-based chemistries such as PFAS and PFC are challenged and scrutinized. With its decade-old experience with fluorine-free barrier solutions, Archroma is go-to partner for food packaging developers.

For instance, Archroma recently launched two innovations: Cartaseal® VWAF, a PFC-free* and ammonia-free* barrier for odorless paper-based food packaging, and a new grade in its Appretan® NTR range of water-based polymeric binders based on renewable natural.

Both innovations are available in system solutions such as:

• PACK IT CLEAN / A PFC-free* barrier system giving more opportunities for odorless food packaging that is easier to recycle and compost, and is safer for you and for the planet
• NATURE BITES / A barrier system containing renewable materials for food packaging that is easier to recycle and compost and is better for the planet

Our team will be visiting #TappiCon and be available to present our growing range of fluorine-free barriers solutions for food packaging.

More innovations are under development. Follow us to stay tuned.
