Contributing to Sustainable Packaging with
High Performance Water-Based Heat Seal Coatings

The reduction of single-use plastics is required to create a sustainable society.

As an alternative to plastic, carbon-neutral recyclable paper is gaining attention as a packaging material.

CHEMIPEARL™ can provide functions such as heat sealing and water / oil resistance to paper, and contribute to the conversion of plastic packaging to paper.

Recyclability

Recyclability assessment of CHEMIPEARL™ coated paper

CHEMIPEARL™ S coated paper can be claimed for European standard EN13430 (recyclable packaging)

CHEMIPEARL™ coated paper (paper 390gsm / coated layer 6gsm) and commercially available PE-laminated paper cup were impregnated with water overnight, and mixed by 2L pulper for 15 minutes.

CHEMIPEARL™ coated paper is the European standard
