The project ran between May 2022 and March 2025.
The project successfully demonstrated the integration of Pul Pacs Dry Molded Fiber technology with Organo Click´s biobased barrier coatings and a newly developed pilot coating line by Nordic Barrier Coating (NBC). Through close collaboration, the partners combined their unique expertise to create fiber based products with oil and grease resistance (OGR) properties suitable for sustainable packaging applications.
The technical feasibility of forming coated substrates without clogging, tool fowling or instablility was confirmed. Trials with demonstrator products showed oil resisting exceeding 6.5 hours, and in some cases up to five days, confirming suitability for demanding packaging needs. The project established a functional industrial workflow, that brings together material innovation, advanced coating technology, and high efficiency fiber molding, laying a strong foundation for development of fully sustainable DMF packaging solutions.
Participants
