Description
Oil-Resistant Cardboard without PVC Coating
Oil-resistant cardboard is a type of cardboard specially treated to resist penetration by fats and oils. Typically, the cardboard is coated with hydrophobic (water-repellent) or lipophobic (oil-repellent) substances that prevent the absorption of liquids such as oil, butter, or sauces.
The production process involves adding special coatings to the paper or cardboard. These substances create a barrier that reduces or completely prevents oils from passing through the material, while maintaining its structural stability and durability.
It’s important to note that most commercially “oil-resistant” cardboard achieves this by applying composite PVC layers, which are difficult to recycle and essentially turn the cardboard into a plastic product. Our product, in contrast, is fully recyclable, compostable, and contains no plastic!
Advantages of Oil-Resistant Cardboard
-
Resistance to Contamination: Its resistance to oils and fats makes it an excellent choice for packaging that must maintain its shape and cleanliness, even in contact with greasy foods.
-
Eco-Friendliness: Oil-resistant cardboard is a more environmentally friendly choice compared to plastic packaging, which can be harder to recycle. Depending on the treatment, it can be compostable or easily recyclable, reducing environmental pollution. It also replaces packaging extruded with thin polyethylene layers, which are difficult to recycle and are similar to plastic boxes.
-
Better Food Protection: By preventing the penetration of fats and oils, the material helps preserve food quality and prevents damage from liquids, extending product shelf life.
-
Convenience and Practicality: Oil-resistant cardboard is easy to process, print on, and modify. This allows manufacturers to create customized packaging suitable for various products. Using eco-friendly packaging demonstrates a commitment to environmental protection.
Ways to Work with Oil-Resistant Cardboard:
-
Purchase cardboard from us according to specified parameters (weight, sheet size, etc.) and then order your items from your usual supplier.
-
Manufacture items from oil-resistant cardboard according to your specifications or based on one of our models.
-
Treat your own cardboard to make it oil-resistant (if you work with specialty cardboards not commonly available). After treatment, you can choose whether we produce the cardboard items or you use your supplier.
Please contact us if you are interested in oil-resistant cardboard or products made from it!
Show your customers that your business cares about the environment by replacing commonly used PVC-barrier cardboards with real oil-resistant cardboard!
