In response to growing demand, BASF and Omya are working jointly on coater-ready barrier solutions for paper and cartonboard packaging. The aim is to provide a service for customers who for capacity and plant technology reasons cannot prepare formulations and mixtures independently.
Coater-ready solutions consist mainly of pigments, additives and functional barrier dispersions. BASF's and Omya's contributions to the partnership complement each other ideally. BASF supplies barrier dispersions, while Omya provides the pigments and experience to manufacture these products in its own facilities. The two partners can guarantee an optimal solution for the paper and cartonboard packaging manufacturers.
Marketing will be carried out through the sales channels of Omya in Europe. A first commercial product will be available in Q1.
