Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has launched the latest innovation in its Cartaseal portfolio, Cartaseal OGB F10.

According to Archroma, Cartaseal OGB F10 is a water-based oil and grease-resistant barrier coating that enables papermakers to provide high-quality and sustainable packaging by replacing fluoro-based substances and polyethylene with a recyclable and repulpable coating. It is FDA and BfR-compliant, making it suitable for the manufacturing of paper and board for food and non-food contact.

Key features and benefits of Cartaseal OGB F10 include:

• Superior oil and grease barrier: Offers protection against oil and grease, ensuring the integrity and freshness of packaged goods.
• Resistance even when folding: Provides oil and grease resistance (OGR) for folding box board and flexible paper packaging application, without compromising on performance.
• Recyclable and repulpable: Facilitates easy recycling and repulping processes, contributing to a more sustainable packaging lifecycle. In addition, as it contains bio-based raw materials, Cartaseal OGB F10 supports brands and papermakers in their journey toward sustainability by minimizing reliance on oil-based substances.

“We are excited to introduce Cartaseal OGB F10 to the market, our latest barrier solution that addresses key challenges in the packaging industry while upholding our commitment to sustainability,” said Sameer Singla, CEO PP&C at Archroma. “With its unmatched oil and grease resistance, exceptional foldability, and sustainability features, Cartaseal OGB F10 represents a significant advancement in packaging technology, empowering businesses to meet evolving consumer demands while reducing their environmental footprint.”
