Functional Additives and Barrier Coatings for Plastics Packaging

A plastic coating is a protective layer of liquid polymers or plastic applied to the surface of a work piece. It offers several functional benefits, including thermal, abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance. Additionally, plastic coatings enhance mechanical properties, provide surface polish, and improve aesthetics. The sealing out water and air, plastic coatings prevent corrosion, thereby increasing the durability and lifespan of metals. These coatings also offer convenience and protection to end-users, offering gripping surfaces and insulation properties for added benefits.

According to Data Bridge Market Research the Plastic Coatings Market accounted for USD 6.65 billion in 2021, and expected to reach USD 11.34 billion by 2029. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.9% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

“The increasing awareness about the advantages of plastic coatings drives the market”

The plastic coatings market is experiencing growth due to the increasing awareness about the advantages associated with plastic coatings.

Recent Development

  • In November 2021, Stora Enso has developed UltraThinPE Tec, which minimizes the quantity amount of plastic coating in Foodservice Board (FSB) and applications like single-use paper cups, according to the business. According to Stora Enso, the technology allows for paper cup designs that include less than 5% plastic, assisting package converters, brand owners, and retailers in meeting their plastics reduction goals. Stora Enso's Cupforma paper cup product line now uses the process to create UltraThinPE coatings. FSB items with UltraThinPE Tec coatings can be recycled with paper or board, depending on local regulations, collection, and sorting facilities. They can also make it easier to recycle FSB in standard recycling mills as one-sided, minimal-plastic coatings when combined with other paper and board packaging.
