Sustainable Barrier Coating for Paper, Board & Flexible Packaging
Replace fossil based PE or PP coatings for paper cups, sandwich wraps and more, without touching your line hardware. UKHI’s biodegradable extrusion coating resin is made for paper cups, trays, wraps and multilayer laminates. It drops straight into standard LDPE coaters, bonds tightly to fiber, and delivers grease, liquid and mineral oil barriers that rival conventional plastics.

FAQs
Biodegradable extrusion coating uses compostable polymer resins to apply a protective layer on paper, board, or film. Unlike polyethylene coatings, these bio‑based coatings biodegrade and compost in industrial facilities without leaving microplastics.
Yes. EcoGran™ and similar compostable extrusion coating resins match LDPE rheology, so temperatures, screw speeds and take-off rates remain familiar. The key tweak is a slightly lower melt window (160-180 °C) and keeping moisture below 0.05 %. Most converters achieve full line speed after one day of trials.
No. Modern compostable coatings like EcoGran™ provide excellent adhesion and moisture resistance, with heat seal performance that match or rival conventional PE coatings. A 25 g m⁻² coat delivers water-vapour and grease resistance similar to 20 µm LDPE.
Yes. UKHI’s extrusion coating resins and end products like extrusion coated paper cups
meet IS 17088 industrial compostability standards.
Rolls keep for 12 months in cool and dry warehouses. Surface slip remains stable; no blocking observed at 40 °C stacking tests. We recommend converting within six months for best seal strength on hot-cup lines.
Our compostable resins have a higher material cost per kg versus conventional plastic coatings. But if the sustainability value and regulatory compliance benefits are factored in, brands get better value for their money without sacrificing performance.
