Cosmo Specialty Chemicals introduces eco-friendly barrier coating solutions for sustainable packaging
Cosmo Specialty Chemicals, a 100% subsidiary of Cosmo First and a one-stop solution for a range of Adhesives, Masterbatches, and Coating Chemicals, has launched its innovative range of Oil and Grease Resistant (OGR) barrier coatings. These advanced solutions offer sustainable alternatives to traditional polyethylene coatings, addressing growing environmental concerns while maintaining superior performance.
Globally, various governments have implemented phasing out traditional polyethylene coatings focusing on sustainable packaging solutions. Cosmo Specialty Chemicals is moving in this direction by launching two distinct grade OGR coatings - OGR 145B and OGR 145S - designed to meet diverse packaging requirements across industries. These water-based formulations are a sought-after solution for the packaging industry in its efforts toward green manufacturing.
“Our new range of OGR barrier coatings reflects Cosmo Specialty Chemicals' commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Mr Raj Sharma, Business Head of Cosmo Specialty Chemicals. “By developing eco-friendly alternatives that maintain high-performance standards, we are addressing the current market demands and anticipated future needs. These solutions deliver exceptional barrier properties while supporting our customers' environmental goals and regulatory compliance requirements.”
The OGR 145B, a non-heat sealable barrier coating, offers excellent oil and grease resistance for food packaging applications. Its unique formulation provides superior water and oil resistance properties, versatile coating application compatibility, anti-blocking properties, zero VOC emissions and is FDA compliance for direct food contact.
Complementing this, the OGR 145S variant introduces heat-sealing capabilities, specifically engineered for paper cup manufacturing. This coating delivers enhanced heat-seal properties for paper-to-paper bonding, excellent resistance against water, moisture, oil, and grease, flexible application options including gravure, flexo, and air knife coating and food-grade compliance for safety.
Both products undergo rigorous testing through KIT and Cobb Index measurements, ensuring optimal performance in grease resistance and water absorbency. These scientifically validated parameters guarantee consistent quality and reliable barrier protection across various applications.
