Water Based Barrier Coating
Here at Tullis Russell we are experts in advanced coatings for a range of specialist applications and we are proud to include trubarrier® Cup – a unique High Performance Coating solution which has been developed to replace traditional plastic (e.g. LDPE) coatings and resolve the challenge of recycling Paper Cups
trubarrier® is a Lightweight, Environmentally Friendly, Aqueous Coating that is certified as safe for Direct Food Contact and completely Odour & Taint neutral.
As well as being fully compatible with current UK waste paper streams, without the need for segregation or sorting, trucup® Paper Cups made with our trubarrier® coating can also be certified industrial compostable in accordance with European standard EN 13432.
Our extensive product development process has shown trubarrier® can be tailored to meet the demands of the supply chain and to perform as well as traditional LDPE coating solutions in printing (conventional and digital), cup forming, and consumer application.
