Robert O’Boyle, a
product manager of coatings at Sun Chemical, will conduct a seminar about
barrier coatings for flexible substrates at the AIMCAL Web Coating and Handling
Conference in Charleston, S.C. Held on October 29th
from 9:00-9:30 a.m., O’Boyle’s seminar will explain how converter applied
barrier coatings from Sun Chemical can be used to compete with typical barrier
laminates and ultimately provide a cost effective and unique engineering
solution to barrier packaging.
Sun Chemical’s SunBar
barrier coatings are designed to enable lightweighting of packaging by removing
one layer of adhesive from packaging, as well as offering improved laminate
flexibility. A smooth, homogenous, pinhole-free layer, SunBar coatings are
easily overprinted with inks and can be laminated to a variety of secondary
films.
O’Boyle will
elaborate on how the design of barrier coatings allows for lightweight
packaging and improved laminated flexibility, while still being cost-effective,
recyclable, biodegradable and press-ready with few changes to current
equipment.
Held on October 27-30
at the Marriott Charleston in Charleston, S.C., the AIMCAL Web Coating and
Handling Conference brings together the converting community to advance the
technologies of web processing, handling and finishing. Organized and hosted by
the Association of International Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL)
the conference convenes leading industry professionals to improve efficiencies,
reduce waste and introduce new technologies designed to improve
competitiveness.
