Mantrose-Haeuser Expands Range of Certified Compostable Barrier Coatings
Mantrose-Haeuser Co. has expanded its leading VerdeCoatTM line of certified compostable barrier coatings for sustainable food packaging. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announcement of July 31st stating that the manufacturers of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) used for grease and moisture resistance in paper, paperboard and molded fiber food packaging have voluntarily agreed to phase-out sales of these substances for food contact use in the United States, VerdeCoat barrier coatings and overprint varnishes, including new offerings certified as compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), continue to be a leading alternative.
VerdeCoat barrier coatings are approved for direct food contact and provide excellent functional barrier properties for paper, paperboard and molded fiber articles. VerdeCoat is approved for direct food contact by the US FDA under 21 CFR 176.170 and 176.180 and complies with BfR XXXVI which is widely accepted in Europe. This product line provides outstanding barrier properties for water, MVTR, and oil and grease resistance.
