Gas Barrier Coatings For Flexible Packaging Mike Leonard Manager Functional Coatings Research working for you. AIMCAL EUROPE WEB COATING CONFERENCE 2012 12th June Prague Outline  Gas barrier Coatings  Definition Background  Market Information  Nanocomposite Gas Barrier Coatings  Exfoliated Clay Composites  Analysis of Clay Composite Coatings  Performance in Packaging Applications  Environmentally Friendlier Packaging  Coating Applications  Conclusions 2 Barrier Coatings: Definition Prevent the penetration (or loss) of specific gases, light or aroma/odour which could compromise the integrity of the packaged product. Typical Barrier Coatings: • Oxygen Barrier • Moisture Vapour Barrier • CO2 Barrier • UV Barrier • Aroma Barrier 3 History/Evolution Of Gas Barriers in Packaging Reasonable EVOH- barriers Excellent Especially PVdC O2 Excellent and Al Barrier at moisture Excellent Poor metallisation medium vapour and barriers barriers, %RH O2 barriers, Organic polymer but light also structures and but weight Thick transparent nanocomposites heavy
