Gas barrier property enhancement! Films and coatings made from plant-derived materials.
Tamarind resin derived from plants provides gas barrier properties equivalent to EVOH. It can be used as a coating agent for paper and film. Film formation is also under consideration.
MP Five Co. sells tamarind gum, the main component of tamarind gum composite materials, widely for food applications (thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents, etc.) and cosmetic applications (moisturizers, etc.). This time, as a result of examining tamarind gum for industrial applications, we discovered that it has an oxygen gas permeability rate equivalent to EVOH. Utilizing this feature, it can be expected to serve as a gas barrier coating liquid for paper and film, as well as a gas barrier film, potentially replacing EVOH, and being used in edible films and biodegradable sheets. Amid the recent movements towards environmental sustainability, we aim to leverage our development technology for thickening polysaccharides, introducing tamarind gum composite materials across various fields, regardless of industry. **Features of Tamarind Seed Gum** - Non-ionic polysaccharides derived from tamarind seeds - Main chain composed of glucose, with side chains of xylose and galactose - Food applications (thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents, etc.) - Cosmetic applications (moisturizers, etc.) - Excellent heat and acid resistance - Film-forming properties - Gas barrier properties (equivalent to EVOH) - Upcycled raw material and edible - Biodegradable material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
