Octima conference on barrier coatings for sustainable packaging.

Octima organisation and European Coatings magazine organised a conference on the formulation of barrier coatings for increasingly sustainable packaging. The conference took place on 22 October in combination with the third edition of Paint & Coatings Italy at the NH Hotel Congress Centre Milan. More than 150 participants - another 24 joined remotely - gained new insights into the formulation of resins, additives, polymers and finished products such as paints, coatings, adhesives and printing inks. Well-known companies such as Barilla, Coim, Flint, Henkel, Huber, Sappi, Solenis and Sun Chemicals were represented.
The world of packaging, especially food packaging, is currently undergoing a transformation, as some raw materials, previously used, are now banned by the European Community in order to promote the recyclability of materials and the use of more sustainable products. We gave a technical presentation on “Super hydrophobic, multiphase polymer dispersion with improved barrier properties for food packaging paper” and had interesting discussions with customers at our Alberdingk exhibitor table.
