The SHIELD improves the strength and moisture resistance properties of the paper board:
- In ambient and tropical high moisture environments (up to 80% more strength @90% humidity)
- Provides industry-standard hydrophobicity (Cobb60 <30)
- Compliance with food contact regulations
- Can be coupled with bio-based gas and grease barrier solutions
SHIELD-treated paper and cardboard products have superior characteristics:
- Strength increase of ready-made cardboard boxes (up to 20%)
- Recyclable, repulpable, printable, biodegradable & petroleum-free
Processes using SHIELD are more cost-effective:
- SHIELD creates value and savings – a great value proposition for all stakeholders!
- Enables Lightweight products: Up to 30% reduction of fiber without the loss of strength properties
- Elimination of all oil-based chemicals, plastics, and most other strength aids
