Achieve next-level sustainability with our polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) barrier coatings, designed to replace petroleum-based materials. These water-based coatings provide excellent barrier performance while offering end-of-life benefits such as marine and freshwater degradability and home compostability. Our PHA-based coatings are compatible with existing flexographic and extrusion processes, enabling a smooth transition to more eco-friendly paper and packaging solutions.
Learn more about our PHA-based barrier coatingsTopScreen™ barrier coatings for oil and grease offer a sustainable alternative to traditional polyethylene film and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Ideal for applications like burger wrappers, french fry bags or pet food boxes, these water-based solutions are cost-effective, readily available, high-performing and easily integrated on existing equipment. Plus, they’re recyclable, repulpable and compostable, so they’re environmentally friendly.
Explore solutionsOur TopScreen™ Water Repellent Barrier Coatings offer an environmentally friendly alternative with water-based polymer products, ideal for applications such as ream wrapping paper, fast-food folding cartons or fresh food and protein packaging. These recyclable, repulpable and compostable formulations offer superior water repellency, as well as excellent printability for your branding graphics.
Explore solutionsDerived from vegetable oils, our TopScreen™ biowax-based coatings are perfect for applications like fast-food wrappers, candy packaging and detergent boxes. Offering resistance to oil, grease and water, and free from potentially harmful MOSH and MOAH compounds, these sustainable and paraffin-free solutions work with your existing wax applicators while ensuring your packaging is recyclable, repulpable and compostable.
Explore solutionsOur next-generation, eco-friendly coating revolutionizes liquid barrier technology without relying on traditional polyethylene (PE) films. Ideal for single-use and short-duration food-service items, our TopScreen™ cupstock barrier coatings deliver the same performance and printing aesthetics as traditional PE-laminated cupstock while offering recyclability, repulpability and compostability. Cupstock coatings can be applied via standard coating and cup-forming equipment. Request a sample.
