Packing papers with water-based moisture barrier


replacement for unrecyclable polymer-coated and waxed papers and linerboard used for barrier applications has been launched by Cortec Corporation. Cortec’s high-gloss EcoShield


W


Super Barrier paper and linerboard relies on a water- based moisture barrier coating. The technology makes the paper


hat is


described as an environmentally- acceptable


fully recyclable and repulpable without requiring costly processes to remove the coating from the paper. In addition to recyclability, the paper offers better water vapour barrier properties during testing. EcoShield has excellent oil and


grease resistance. It is made to register a kit test value of 12, representing the highest amount of an aggressive liquid solution to remain on the paper surface without causing the paper to fail. The high


gloss paper not only protects against the ingress of moisture or grease into a package, but it also protects against the leaching of oil and grease out of a package. EcoShield can discourage these oils and greases from seeping out of the package and causing packaging failure or contamination of nearby materials. The versatility of EcoShield


Super Barrier as a flexible, moisture barrier material allows it to be used for a variety of


packaging applications. It is available in custom sizes and as sheets or perforated rolls for the convenience of the user. By coating water based barrier


technology onto biobased material, Cortec has made what it says is a fully recyclable, environmentally acceptable, and competitively performing replacement for polymercoated and waxed papers. More information from www. cortecpackaging.com
