The new nanolok&trade pt adv7 waterbased coating formulation providing a more sustainable, cost effective option for transparent, high oxygen andor moisture barrier food packaging. By reducing the amount of barrier material needed and using only nonhazardous materials, this technology enables food companies to produce long shelf life products with reduced carbon footprint and environmental impact. Nanolok&trade pt adv7 reduces both material and process costs when compared with the lowest cost transparent high oxygen barrier material, evoh. Coating thicknesses in the range of 0.50.8 micron provide better oxygen barrier than 1020 microns of evoh, and provide much better oxygen and moisture barrier when compared with pvdc coated pet. These transparent coatings can be applied using commercial roll coating equipment while providing performance competitive with more expensive vacuum and plasma deposited coatings. Coatings speeds of up to 900 ftminute have already been achieved.nanolok&trade pt coatings do not contain halogens, vocs, or other hazardous materials and are compliant with food contact regulations in the us and europe. Alternative barrier materials such as evoh and pvdc negatively impact the ability of packaging material to be recycled. The very small amount of nanolok&trade barrier material needed to achieve the required shelf life will improve the recyclability of barrier packaging. Nanolok&trade technology will also reduce the total amount of material sent to landfills. In addition, nanolok&trade pt adv7 coated bioderived polymer films meet compatibility standards. What is unique is that nanolok&trade coatings can be applied at low thickness and high speed using standard roll coating equipment while achieving high barrier levels at lower cost. This provides new options for film producers, converters, and end users to design and produce more sustainable, cost effective, high barrier packaging.samples of coating formulation and coated packaging film 48 gauge pet are immediately available and can be purchased for evaluation.
