PAPER, PAPERBOARD AND FLEXIBLE PACKAGING

HYPOD™ polyolefin dispersions deliver fluorochemical-free polyolefin performance in a water-based system providing a unique balance of properties in a variety of paper, paperboard and flexible packaging applications, not possible with traditional dispersions.

Compared to traditional thermoplastic processing methods, HYPOD polyolefin dispersions make it possible for paper and board manufacturers to move further down the value chain capturing more value, while still using existing low viscosity coating techniques.

For converters, HYPOD polyolefin dispersions enable new package design possibilities not possible today with traditional products.

Which of these benefits would allow you to capture more value and transform your business?

Polyolefin Performance

  • Especially suitable for pet food bags, pizza boxes, sandwich wrappers
  • Oil and grease resistance even after creasing
  • Moisture barrier
  • Ability to coat in patterns
  • Lay flat properties resulting in minimal warpage
  • Dimentional stability to coated recycled board

Enhanced Processability

  • Compatible with most conventional processes for applying water-based coatings
  • Heat sealability to various polar and non-polar substrates
  • Laminating adhesive layer on films and foils
  • Good adhesion between paper, foil and plastic layers
  • New tie layer and primer possibilities
  • Very low heat seal initiation temperatures
  • Resource reduction due to much thinner coating applications
  • Higher line speeds
  • Low temperature flexibility

and more...

  • Fluorochemical-free OGR solution
  • FDA compliance
  • Minimize pulping and recycling issues
