Sustainable solutions for the paper packaging industry ecovio ® FS Paper C 1500

Sustainable packaging Composting and biodegradability are not possible – Degradation to PE fragments only a small proportion is converted to CO2 biomass Extrusion coating technology Slit die extrusion at 150 to 600 m/min technology ecovio® FS Paper has been developed for coating paper and paper board. This fully biodegradable and partially bio-based polymer offers a number of advantages required for food packaging.

01 Barriers against fat and grease In the case of grease resistance the market is looking for alternatives to FLuoROCARBONS products. ecovio ® FS Paper shows its superior effects and starts to penetrate the market for paper WRAPS. Recent regulations and cultural trends have seen fluorocarbons increasingly being replaced by more environmentally friendly or even biodegradable materials. Applied to both paper and board packaging elements by coextrusion, this unique product enables the manufacture of 100% wax and fluorocarbon free wrappers and clamshells that can be fully recycled and even composted....

02 Barriers against aroma That long-life freshness is all down to packaging materials that have been designed with integrated aroma barriers to keep the desired flavor safety inside. BASF’s multi-talented new ecovio® FS product can be applied to both paper and board packaging materials and provides excellent aroma barrier properties. Our ecovio ® FS solutions are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Meaning that long-lasting freshness doesn’t need to mean long-lasting negative environmental impact.

Barriers against liquids Barriers against mineral oil ecovio ® FS Paper – the functional barrier ecovio ® FS Paper – the renewable paper coating Packaging that provides a functional barrier against the migration of undesired substances like mineral oils or benzophenone is an effective and efficient way of reducing or even eradicating the transfer of such residues from paper and cardboard packaging into food. BASF’s unique range of extrudable bio-based, biodegradable and fully compostable barrier coatings to aqueous dispersion for coating and printing enables you to create effective food protection...

Moisture content Aeration (availability of oxygen) Carbon/ nitrogen ratio High temperatures Compostability of biodegradable polymers in industrial composting sites THE COMPOSTABILITY OF ecovio ® HAS BEEN PROVEN BY RECOGNIZED, INDEPENDENT TESTING INSTITUTES. Independent institutes use special certification methods to test bioplastics for full biological degradability, compostability, compost quality and plant compatibility. According to the requirements of European Standard EN 13432, plastics such as ecovio® are fully biodegradable and disintegrate in particles smaller than 2 mm. The new ecovio®...
