Mondi introduces new barrier wrapping paper
Mondi Kraft Paper extends its product portfolio with barrier treated wrapping paper: Advantage Barrier Wrap. Advantage Barrier Wrap has been developed to create a moisture and water vapour barrier on the paper, a function which so far has been reached by waxing or PE coating.
The new grade is simply ‘ready to use’ for printing and sheeting applications. This latest member of the kraft paper family also offers a high-class visual appearance together with excellent dead-fold, lay-flat and printing properties. Current end-uses include various food wrap applications in direct contact with warm food products, such as hamburgers and sandwiches. The grease resistance properties of Advantage Barrier Wrap have naturally been achieved without any fluorine based chemicals. – Mondi is proud to offer an additional paper grade for the global food service segment. Advantage Barrier Wrap has clear benefits throughout the value chain for converters as well as multinational brand owners, explains Clemens Stockreiter, COO Mondi Kraft Paper. What’s more, Advantage Barrier Wrap meets important criteria for sustainability and green manufacturing. It is produced from renewable raw materials. The product is also repulpable, which means that any waste can be circulated 100% back into production. The fact that one converting stage can be removed, as additional waxing is no longer necessary, also has a positive impact on the carbon footprint.Only bleached virgin kraft pulp from PEFC and FSC certified supplier is used for its production.
