Barrier Effects
Barrier Effects  The packaging industry and end users demand far greater functionality and performance than ever before. Ciba’s range of specially tailored, FDA approved products provides various functionalities. Our new generation fluorochemicals impart unmatched oil, grease and water resistance to paper, board and molded products and our advanced "ready made" barrier coatings provide resistance against water, vapor, oil and grease.

Wet-end application provides additional protection where staining conditions exist. Ciba® LODYNE® and Ciba® REBARCO® prevent penetration in products such as molded plates, trays, fast food boxes and multiply boards that are subject to folding, abrasion and surface cuts.


  Benefits

  • High end-use performance/resistance
     
  • Application flexibility: wet-end (LODYNE®), size press or coating (LODYNE® and REBARCO®)
     
  • Ciba® LODYNE® is cleared by the FDA for use as an oil and water repellent in paper and paperboard in direct contact with non-alcoholic and dry food.
     
  • Paper products manufactured with Ciba® LODYNE® are readily recyclable
     
  • Contain no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that interfere with the ozone layer
