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.
