Gas barrier performance enhancement! Coating liquid made from natural materials for paper and film.
Using upcycled tamarind gum! By applying a coating liquid and drying it, a gas barrier coating or film can be formed.
The giant evergreen tree "Tamarind" inhabits subtropical and tropical regions. Our company focused on the polysaccharide components abundantly contained in tamarind seeds and successfully industrialized tamarind seed gum for the first time in the world in 1964. The tamarind seeds used as raw materials are a byproduct generated when the fruit is processed for consumption. Tamarind gum is an upcycled product created by grinding and refining these seeds. In light of recent environmental initiatives, we aim to leverage our expertise in developing thickening polysaccharides to introduce tamarind seed gum composite materials across various industries and fields. 【Product Features】 - By applying and drying a coating liquid, it is possible to form a gas barrier coating or film that excels in the balance of strength and elongation. - By coating paper, it is possible to impart gas barrier properties while maintaining the strength and flexibility of the base paper. 【Expected Applications】 - Gas barrier coatings - Packaging films, paper packaging materials - Hygiene materials - Edible films - Heat sealants - Gas barrier coatings - Food coatings And more. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
