Barrier Coatings

There is only one thing that should stand between the enjoyment of food or drink and their packaging – a functioning barrier. This ensures that packaging and food remain of the same quality for unrestricted enjoyment. Oil, grease or water usually corrode the substrate or content. A barrier is therefore essential for food packaging. Until now, PE layers have mainly been used as barriers in packaging. An effective barrier solutions for Food Packaging can help to avoid these PE composites, making the packaging demonstrably more sustainable.

The Schmid Rhyner GALACRYL® barrier coatings achieve excellent test values with the relevant measurement methods. They therefore offer safe and high-quality stability in processing and protection against oil, grease and water in the final application.

In addition to dispensing with PE in the production process, the delivery process can be shortened, and production costs significantly reduced. The barrier solutions with our water-based GALACRYL® products therefore help to significantly reduce plastic in food and beverage packaging.
