Oil and grease resistance additive receives food contact approval

摘要

Archroma has received FDA approval for the use of its new Cartaguard~® KST additive in the manufacture of paper and board for food packaging. This PFOA-free additive provides high levels of oil, grease and water resistance to paper and board. It is also compliant with the recommendations of the German BfR (ⅩⅩⅩⅥ), allowing global market use. Cartaguard~® KST liquid is based on a cationic C6 fluoropolymer which excels at providing a strong and long-lasting barrier to grease and water. Its performance properties and environmental profile make it particularly suitable for use in both size press and wet-end applications to produce fast food boxes and wrappers, soup cube boxes, butter wrap and oil bottle labels. It is also suitable for use in production of molded pulp plates, cups, etc., and in pet food packaging.
