Barrier Function

Intro & Solutions

WITH OUR SAFE, EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BARRIER FUNCTION APPLICATION

Asia Pacific has been phasing out “non-recyclable” or single-use plastic due to the push of sustainability initiatives from governments & brand owners. The current market of fiber-based packaging widely uses PE film, PFAs and aluminum foil, which are hard to recycle, and PFAs, which is bio-accumulative. Alternatives to these current conventional packaging and food service formats, sustainable barrier materials will assume a critical role and contribute to the circularity and carbon footprint reduction in the industry. 

APC Group AmiBarr platform offers a full range of technology portfolios to improve the end-use fiber-based packaging performance and the efficiency of the production process by optimizing raw material and energy consumption.

AmiBarr can be applied to paper and board packaging materials as coating or for molded pulp as wet end application. AmiBarr provides barrier functions from water resistance, oil & grease resistance, and water vapor transmission rate to oxygen transmission rate. The complete range of barrier coating accommodates a wide range of packaging applications with different needs, e.g., food-to-go trap, cupstock, fast food service, corrugated boxes, etc.
