Coatings for sustainable paper-based flexible packaging: Barrier properties and processability, TAPPI Journal November 2022
ABSTRACT: In this study, the use of waterborne barrier dispersions from trademarked BLUEWAVE Mechanical Dispersion Technology as thin coatings for paper-based flexible packaging was investigated. Prototypes were designed and examined for their performance in process, rheology, barrier, heat-seal/hot-tack, and coefficient of friction (CoF). Compositional details such as the type and amount of base resins and dispersants were found to significantly impact performances and were key to the development of new prototypes that deliver the performance profiles for implementation in paper-based flexible packaging applications.

Application of AI-based approach to control the papermaking process, TAPPI Journal March 2025
ABSTRACT: This paper explores AI’s role in revolutionizing the pulp and paper industry, and specifically in predicting wet tensile strength (WTS) for specialty-grade papers. Leveraging eLIXA technology, a 90-day study achieved a 15% reduction in chemical dosage and an 80% decrease in wet tensile standard deviation. The real-time dosage prediction led to optimizing the wet strength resin (WSR) consumption and improved process reliability. The self-learning models exhibited adaptability to changing variables, ensuring their robustness. Overall, this study highlights AI’s transformative impact on efficiency, cost savings, and product quality within the dynamic landscape of papermaking. The approach used for wet strength optimization has been used to optimize other aspects of pulp and paper production.

Improved barrier performance with microfibrillated cellulose, TAPPI Journal March 2025
ABSTRACT: In this work, the impact of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) on the properties of water-based barrier coatings intended for food packaging have been explored. Commercially available MFC was used for improving the rheology and water retention of three different commercially available dispersion coatings (acrylic, styrene acrylic, and polylactic acid). Coatings were applied by rod to paper, and barrier properties were tested by measuring air permeability and water barrier properties. Results clearly showed that addition of MFC to water-based dispersion coatings improved the barrier performance of the final coatings.
