Ulterion® Introduces Cost-Neutral, Eco-Friendly Oil And Grease Resistant Coatings

Taylors, SC /PRNewswire/ - Ulterion® coatings from Jain Chem, Ltd. of Taylors, South Carolina is proud to introduce its complete range of highly sustainable, PFAS-free oil and grease resistant (OGR) coatings for food packaging and baking applications. Ulterion's OGR coatings are manufactured by converting waste plastic and naturally occurring ingredients into a non-plastic coating that does not contain any PFOA, PFOS, styrene, silicone, PE, chromium or GMO ingredients.

Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings provide excellent protection for french fry cartons, burger clamshells, sandwich wraps, donut and bakery boxes, pizza liners, baking sheets, butcher paper, pet food packaging and similar end-uses.

Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings can be applied on the paper machine, off-machine by size press or by flexo, rod coater, curtain or blade coater. Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings offer superb oil and grease resistance and near-zero penetration. In addition to oil and grease resistance, Ulterion® OGR coatings feature excellent release properties.

"Ulterion® OGR-coated paper packages are cost-neutral to PFAS, 100% repulpable, 100% recyclable and won't inhibit compostability. Also, all Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings are FDA approved, BfR listed, are Proposition 65 compliant and Plastic Free per Directive (EU) 2019/904" notes Jain Chem sales manager Gil Sherman. "That's a win-win-win for brand owners, consumers and the environment."

"We are so pleased to be able to extend our contribution to a circular economy with the introduction of Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings," Jain Chem CEO Manoj Jain said. "By eliminating styrene acrylics from our formulas, Ulterion® coatings enable our customers and brands to avoid Prop 65 labeling requirements."

Paper and paperboard packages coated with Ulterion® sustainable OGR coatings are available now from major paper mills and converters throughout North America and very soon in Europe.
