<p>TopScreen biowax-based barrier coatings are the solution to consumer demand for paraffin-free, environmentally friendly, paper packaging. Derived from vegetable oils, these functional biowax barrier coatings are free from harmful mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH), making them an excellent choice for food-grade paper packaging applications. And, paper and board treated with TopScreen biowax barrier coatings are repulpabable, recyclable and compostable, making the coatings a better environmental choice than paraffin-based wax coatings.</p>
<p>In addition to providing superior oil, grease and water resistance and control of water vapor transmission rate, TopScreen biowax barrier coatings offer many appealing features and benefits. For example, they:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contain up to 100 percent bio-based content derived from vegetable oils</li>
<li>Are free of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH)</li>
<li>Are recyclable and repulpable</li>
<li>Are compostable, with EN 13432 certification for most packaging applications</li>
<li>Comply with global food contact standards, including BfR XXXVI, FDA 21 CFR § 176.170, and GB9685-2016</li>
