1 Series for Paper Coatings
Ingeo™ coatings for paper and paperboard are revolutionizing the world of sustainable food serviceware. Using Ingeo biopolymer in extrusion coating applications meets the growing demand from brands and consumers for biobased, low carbon materials that fit into expanding industrial composting and paper recycling infrastructure.
Coatings made from Ingeo are produced from annually renewable resources, just like the paper fiber – providing performance serviceware that is a safe, natural, and sustainable alternative to plastics made from non-renewable petrochemical resources.
NatureWorks provides Ingeo grades designed for extrusion coating on paper and paperboard suitable for food contact applications. Ingeo provides ductility for heat seal performance on the cup forming line. Ingeo also provides excellent adhesion and melt strength for neck-in edge stability in extrusion coating, and can achieve higher line speeds than previously seen with generic biopolymers.
