NP SiOPack is a new coating material that provides food safety to packaging made of paper, cardboard, cast fibre or a wide variety of natural fibres without PE filming. The environmentally friendly barrier coating has now been honoured with the Green Product Award in the \"Best of New Materials\" jury category.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The environmentally friendly barrier coating from Nanopool GmbH is Ultra-thin, invisible and completely recyclable<\/strong> and harmless. Until now, natural fibre-based packaging solutions have only achieved sufficient packaging and food safety for demanding applications with the help of coating materials such as polyethylene (PE) or bio-PE. Coating with the NP SiOPack solution achieves iCompared to a coating with PE on cardboard packaging, the values for water stability and food safety are the same,<\/strong> can be completely returned to the natural cycle as a nature-based product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For the technical realisation Nanopool<\/a> Support from Van Genechten Packaging (VGP). The European manufacturer of cardboard packaging, headquartered in Belgium, developed the mechanical realisation of the coating of cardboard packaging for industrial production.<\/strong> In practical use at VGP, the material is coated with NP SiOPack and can then be easily processed for any packaging application.<\/p>

The relevance of this environmentally friendly coating for food packaging was also recognised by this year's Green Product Award jury, which described NP SiOPack as \"an excellent, More sustainable technology for paper and disposable products\"<\/strong>which also makes it easy for consumers to intuitively recognise that packaging with this natural coating is recyclable and compostable.<\/p>

The ultra-thin barrier cannot be seen or felt with the naked eye, which is why packaging made of paper, cardboard or other natural fibres treated with NP SiOPack, in contrast to PE-coated products visually and haptically indistinguishable from the untreated raw material.<\/strong> The effect of the refinement, however, is recognisable: absorbent natural materials become reliably repellent to water, oil and grease, dirt and even germs. This creates safe packaging for dairy products, liquids, frozen products, soaps and detergents and much more, which can simply be disposed of with the waste paper after use.\u00a0<\/p>
