Modern packaging systems must maintain barrier properties across temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C while withstanding mechanical stresses during transport and handling. Current coating technologies achieve oxygen transmission rates (OTR) as low as 0.1 cm³/m²/day and water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) below 0.1 g/m²/day, but these properties often degrade when films are stretched, folded, or exposed to environmental stresses.

The fundamental challenge lies in developing coating systems that maintain barrier properties and mechanical integrity while meeting increasingly stringent requirements for recyclability and environmental impact.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including biaxially oriented polyester films with controlled friction properties, PVDC emulsions with enhanced thermal stability, water-soluble sealing layers, and multi-layer barrier substrates with improved interlayer adhesion. These and other approaches focus on practical coating solutions that balance performance requirements with manufacturing feasibility and environmental considerations.

1. Biaxially Oriented Polyester Film with Dual-Layer PET Structure and Controlled Friction and Haze Properties

TOYOBO CO LTD, 東洋紡株式会社, 2025

Biaxially oriented polyester film with non-slip surface, transparency, and easy winding for use in packaging applications like food containers and top seals. The film has two layers, A and B, both containing polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The dynamic friction coefficient of the A layer surface, the friction coefficient between A and B layers, and the haze are controlled within specified ranges to balance slipperiness, transparency, and processability. The film's non-slip surface prevents stacked containers from collapsing when pressed together.

2. PVDC Emulsion with Silica Sol Dispersant for Enhanced Barrier and Thermal Stability in Pharmaceutical Packaging

ZHEJIANG QUZHOU JUSU CHEMICAL IND CO LTD, ZHEJIANG JUHUA CO LTD.ELECTROCHEMISTRY PLANT, 浙江巨化股份有限公司电化厂, 2024

A PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride) emulsion for pharmaceutical packaging that provides improved barrier properties, thermal stability, and long-term stability compared to conventional PVDC emulsions. The emulsion is made by using a silica sol as the dispersant instead of traditional surfactants. This avoids issues like decomposition, hydrolysis, migrant formation, crystallization, and poor thermal stability when heating. The silica sol also improves the water vapor barrier performance of the coating. The PVDC emulsion formulation contains 35-50% vinylidene chloride monomer, 0.5-5% comonomer, 0.1-0.5% initiator, 0.01-0.1% stabilizer, 5-7% silane coupling agent modified silica sol, and 30-5

3. Paper Substrate Packaging with Partially Applied Water-Soluble Sealing Layer

B&T ENTWICKLUNGS- UND VERMARKTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2024

Packaging material and packaging made from a paper substrate with a water-soluble sealing layer applied to one side. The water-soluble sealing media, like PVOH, is only partially applied to one part of the sealing area before sealing. The other part of the sealing area contacts the applied sealing media during sealing. This allows reducing sealing media usage compared to fully coated seams. The water-soluble sealing media dissolves during packing or consumption, leaving behind a paper-only packaging.

4. Packaging Material with Selective Water-Soluble Sealing Media on Paper Base Layer

B&T ENTWICKLUNGS- UND VERMARKTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH, B&T ENTW UND VERMARKTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2024

Packaging material and method for producing packaging that reduces microplastics and enables recyclability. The packaging uses a paper base layer with a sealing media applied to specific areas. This allows reliable sealing without using multiple non-biodegradable layers. The sealing media is water-soluble and applied selectively to the sealing areas. The paper base is recyclable in paper recycling processes. The packaging can have high barrier properties and is suitable for food like coffee.

5. Pyramid-Shaped Foil-Coated Paper Packaging with Vertical Seam and Tear-Initiation Section

ROGOZIN ANDRANIK TIGRANOVICH, РОГОЗИН АНДРАНИК ТИГРАНОВИЧ, 2024

Hermetically sealed packaging for viscous cosmetics like creams and serums in the form of a pyramid made of foil-coated paper.

This allows easy opening of the packaging by tearing along the initiation line instead of breaking the seals or cutting the corners. The corrugated surface on the sealed ends provides grip for tearing.

6. Biodegradable Packaging Material with Multi-Layer Coating on Cellulose Fiber Substrate

KOEHLER INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY GMBH, 2024

Environmentally friendly packaging material that is biodegradable and/or recyclable. The packaging has a carrier substrate with coating layers.

The coating layers contain binders, pigments, and additives like polysaccharides, surfactants, and preservatives. The carrier substrate can be made of cellulose fibers. The coating layers have specific weight percentages of components. The packaging material can be produced using specific coating colors with viscosities suitable for industrial machines. The packaging meets standards like EN 1186 for food safety.

The polyolefin-based barrier has good gas barrier properties and can be used in packaging containers without delamination or corrosion issues when filled with reactive contents.

9. Packaging Film with Iron Powder-Infused Rough Surface for Anti-Blocking and Oxygen Absorption

東洋製罐株式会社, TOYO SEIKAN CO LTD, 2024

Packaging film for bags and pouches that has improved anti-blocking properties to prevent sticking and clogging. The film has one surface with a roughness of 1-10 microns due to blending iron powder into the propylene resin. This roughness reduces friction and prevents sticking compared to smooth surfaces. The iron powder also absorbs oxygen to improve barrier properties. The rough surface can be formed by blending iron powder into the resin at 1-40% mass.

10. Multilayer Substrate with Stretched Polypropylene Core and Polar Resin Coating Layer for Enhanced Interlayer Adhesion and Gas Barrier Properties

大日本印刷株式会社, DAI NIPPON PRINTING CO LTD, 2024

Multilayer substrate for packaging materials with improved gas barrier properties and adhesion between layers. The substrate has a stretched polypropylene layer sandwiched between an outer layer and an inner coating layer. The coating layer contains a resin with polar groups to improve adhesion of subsequent layers like vapor deposited films.

It is coated with a transparency agent like a coconut-based wax and a heat-sealable coating like a thermoplastic starch or protein. The coated paper has opacity less than 35% and can be used for packaging without supercalendering.

12. Packaging Material Coating with Thixotropic Aqueous Mixture of Smectite Clay and Cross-Linked Water-Soluble Polymer

NABACO INC, 2024

Coating packaging materials like paper and cardboard with a thixotropic aqueous mixture to improve barrier properties like reducing gas and moisture transfer through the material. The coating composition contains smectite clay, a water-soluble polymer, and a cross-linking agent that links the clay to the polymer. Applying the mixture to a surface and heat treating crosslinks the clay-polymer barrier. This provides coated packaging with improved barrier properties for replacing single-use plastic in produce shipping.

13. Single-Coat Overvarnish Composition with High Molecular Weight Saturated Polyester and Soft Amino Resin for Bottle Can Exterior

강남제비스코 주식회사, KANGNAM JEVISCO CO LTD, 2024

High-processability, high-temperature sterilization paint for the exterior of bottle cans that replaces the traditional 2-coat system with a simplified 1-coat overvarnish. The 1-coat composition contains specific resins to provide processability, adhesion, and sterilization properties similar to the 2-coat system. It uses a high molecular weight saturated polyester, a soft amino resin (like urea or blocked isocyanate) instead of melamine, and a low molecular weight epoxy resin. The composition replaces the size paint used for adhesion and processability, allowing a thinner coating with better flexibility and reduced damage during processing.
