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.
