Protected.Foods, consumers and the environment sustainably protected

In the food industry, packaging is no longer

just about the protection of foods, its storage

or the smooth transport. The focus is on to-

pics such as waste prevention, replacement

of plastic packaging as well as using more

sustainable materials.

In short: innovative solutions that, in addition

to the effi cient protection of packaged

goods, also take into account aspects such

as environmental responsibility and sustain-

ability. Solutions that protect consumers

and the environment. Solutions, such as

our barricote barrier papers for fl exible food

packaging.

As a sustainable high-tech material, paper is

the ideal basis for many food packaging.

At Mitsubishi HiTec Paper, we use renewable

raw materials that are not in competition

with food production. Whether as primary

or secondary packaging - all barricote

products are fully recyclable and therefore

ideally suited for the circular economy.

Environmentally friendly, sustainable and

safe.

Innovations such as barricote are possible

because of our many years of experience in

coating various speciality papers. We have

six different coating technologies at our

disposal for the application of many different

functional, protective and barrier coatings,

including multiple and double-sided coatings.

Our curtain coater technology enables us to

apply coatings in an extremely uniform and

highly effective way, safely and accurately.

zed by the following features:

barricote BAG Heat-sealed bags – food permanently protected

Our barrier paper barricote BAG WG* offers an excellent combined barrier against grease and oil as well

as against water vapour. In addition, BAG WGOM** with its oxygen and aroma barrier ensures a long shelf

life of the packaged food. The integrated barrier against mineral oil migration reliably protects against MOSH

/ MOAH impurities - the migration is below current legislation on the protection of packaged food. Another

feature of this particularly universal barrier paper is the certified seawater decomposability.

Due to the very good heat-sealability, both papers are particularly suitable for bag packaging and are intelli-

gent alternatives to film packaging made of PE, PP or BOPP film. Environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Mineral Oil Migration (MOAH)

Laminated or glued packaging made from our barrier paper barricote LINER MG* provides an optimal

and secure barrier against the migration of mineral oils and similar substances. The migration is

demonstrably lower than current draft legislation to protect packaged foods. Another advantage of

the water-based coating is the barrier against grease and oil.

LINER MG is the ideal basis for safe packaging of dry and greasy food such as pasta, oat flakes,

cereals, coffee and other bulk food. The special barrier function is of course maintained during all

further processing steps such as printing, folding, creasing, etc. Natural and safe.
