Grease Resistant Aqueous Lacquer for Food Packaging

A grease resistant aqueous lacquer for food packaging solves one of the most visible and commercially damaging problems in food packaging: grease and oil staining paperboard.

Triwill Group supplies Grease Barrier Coating through partners and distributors in the UAE and GCC, on a quote-led basis. Technical data sheets are available on request, with a technical and commercial study behind each recommendation.

Key Features

• Grease and oil resistance: A barrier film that resists penetration by oils and greases helping the outside of a food pack stay clean.
• Board strength protection: Helps prevent board softening and loss of shape caused by grease absorption so packs keep their structure during holding.
• Food packaging focus: Formulated for food packaging applications, including fast food, bakery, fried food, takeaway and general food cartons and trays.
• Waterbased formulation: A lower-odour aqueous coating suited to modern coating units and to food packaging production where solvent coatings are best avoided.
• Paperboard solution: Gives paperboard useful grease resistance without necessarily moving to a plastic or plastic-laminated pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a grease resistant aqueous lacquer?

A waterbased overprint coating applied over paperboard, formulated to form a film that resists penetration by oils and greases, helping the outside of a food pack stay clean and the board keep its strength, even when the food inside is oily or fried.

How is grease resistance tested?

A generic test at room temperature will not predict performance for hot, oily food.

Will it work on uncoated board?

Test on the actual board before production.

Does it make the pack plastic-free?

It gives paperboard useful grease resistance without necessarily moving to a plastic or plastic-laminated pack, which many brands prefer for environmental and consumer reasons. The specific recyclability or compostability claims for a finished pack depend on the full pack structure and should be confirmed for that pack.
