The Archroma Cartaseal VWAF barrier coating has been launched by the specialty chemicals company as a solution for odor-free packaging applications that will help with keeping containers protected from food-sourced substances. The packaging application is intended to prevent oils, grease, water and water vapor from transferring from food to the exterior of the packaging. This makes the barrier ideal for sandwich wedge boxes, pizza boxes, fast food packaging, fresh vegetables and general supermarket packaging.
Head the Competence Centre for Chemicals at Archroma Andy Bell commented on the Archroma Cartaseal VWAF barrier coating, saying, "Consumers and regulators are increasingly attentive to how products are made, and rightfully so. It is our responsibility as an industry to develop and convert to technologies that reduce our impact on the environment and on people’s health. That is exactly what we at Archroma do, with innovations like Cartaseal VWAF. Because it’s our nature."
