Plásticos Romero, in collaboration with plastics technology centre Aimplas, has completed an 18-month project that has enabled biodegradable flexible multilayer structures to be used in medium-barrier food packaging.
The coating technology has been applied on a biodegradable film to give it the required barrier properties. The final complex structure is formed by a coated film that has been laminated with a three-layer structure, said to provide rigidity and sealability to the final packaging and protect the barrier coating.
This is claimed to result in a complex final structure aimed at food packaging which requires medium barrier properties, such as bakery, fresh or frozen products.
The Recubio project was funded by the Spanish National Program for R&D Activities named Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial.
