Summary:
Omya is developing functional solutions for fiber-based packaging materials. Whether based on classical chemistry or natural
polymers the end result will be the same – always recyclable!
The Omya “Extomine” product family is based on classical, functional polymer solutions. With the target in mind to offer the paper
and board producer, the converter or the printer, a fully recyclable application. We have designed and successfully introduced a
broad, ready-to-use product range into the market:
“Extomine M” gives superb protection of packed food against harmful MOH (Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons). This product is an
economical and ecological viable solution for paper and board based packaging, in comparison to a PET or PA-based multi-layer
plastic film.
“Extomine G” gives superb protection against water vapor migration as well as water and oil/grease repellence. This product gives
paper and board qualities the required functionality to replace the typical laminated or extruded polyolefine film, or to replace the
health and environment questionable PFAS (fluorine) solutions.
“Extomine S” This adhesive with additional functionality of oil/grease and water repellence gives the required sealing performance
for paper and board products required on high-speed converting lines
With the “Earth” product line Omya is offering solutions with highest bio-based ingredients up to 100%.
“EarthGuard” is the solution for good oil and grease repellence as required for QSR packaging solutions.
“EarthWrap” was, like “EarthGuard”, developed for food packaging applications, but with additional water-vapor performance.
At Omya we are passionate about the environment and sustainability - Please feel free to enter into a discussion with us!
