Aquaseal – Waterbased polyolefin dispersions of conventional extrusion-grade plastics

Our printable, waterborne Aquaseal coatings offer environmentally friendly alternatives to extruded plastic coatings.

Although 10-12 gram of plastic per square meter of paper is often enough to achieve heat seal and barrier performance, it is difficult to consistently apply such thin layers with extrusion techniques. A thinner, water-based coating, which can be applied using conventional coating and printing techniques, will inherently yield a lower overall MVTR but this is frequently sufficient for the target application. The heat-seal functionality remains, but more importantly, the packaging material remains fully repulpable and recyclable via existing waste streams using appropriate processes.
