ECO Friendly Coating Paper: A Sustainable Packaging SolutionWhat is ECO Friendly Coating Paper?ECO Friendly Coating Paper is an innovative, sustainable packaging material that combines paper substrate with environmentally friendly coatings to replace traditional plastic laminates. This specialized paper features a thin, biodegradable coating (typically 5-20 microns thick) applied to paper surfaces (ranging from 80-300 gsm basis weight) to provide functional barrier properties while maintaining compostability. The coating formulations often utilize bio-based polymers such as PLA (polylactic acid), PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates), or water-based acrylics with >90% biodegradation within 180 days under industrial composting conditions (ASTM D6400).Key Characteristics with Technical DataBarrier Performance: Provides oxygen transmission rates (OTR) of 5-50 cc/m²/day and water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of 10-100 g/m²/day, suitable for short-to-medium shelf life products.Thermal Resistance: Withstands heat sealing temperatures up to 150-200°C with seal strengths of 2-5 N/15mm.Mechanical Properties: Exhibits tensile strength of 30-60 kN/m and elongation at break of 4-15%.Environmental Impact: Reduces carbon footprint by 40-70% compared to conventional plastic laminates, with >90% renewable content.Printability: Supports offset, flexo, and digital printing with surface energy of 38-42 dynes/cm for optimal ink adhesion.Compostability: Achieves 90% disintegration within 12 weeks and
