Cosmo Specialty Chemicals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cosmo First, has introduced an innovative range of Oil and Grease Resistant (OGR) barrier coatings. These sustainable solutions offer a viable alternative to traditional polyethylene coatings, addressing environmental concerns while maintaining superior performance.
Supporting the Global Shift to Sustainable Packaging
Governments worldwide are phasing out polyethylene coatings in favor of sustainable packaging materials. In response, Cosmo Specialty Chemicals has developed two advanced OGR coatings—OGR 145B and OGR 145S. These water-based formulations cater to diverse packaging needs and contribute to the packaging industry’s green manufacturing initiatives.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
“Our new OGR barrier coatings demonstrate Cosmo Specialty Chemicals’ dedication to sustainability and innovation,” said Mr. Raj Sharma, Business Head of Cosmo Specialty Chemicals. “By offering eco-friendly solutions that deliver high-performance results, we help our customers meet environmental regulations and market demands.”
OGR 145B: Superior Oil and Grease Resistance
OGR 145B is a non-heat sealable barrier coating designed for food packaging applications. It provides excellent oil and grease resistance, superior water resistance, and anti-blocking properties. Additionally, it emits zero VOCs and complies with FDA regulations for direct food contact.
OGR 145S: Heat-Sealable Solution for Paper Cup Manufacturing
OGR 145S introduces heat-sealing capabilities, making it ideal for paper cup production. This coating enhances paper-to-paper bonding, offers exceptional resistance to water, moisture, oil, and grease, and is compatible with various application methods such as gravure, flexo, and air knife coating. It also meets food-grade compliance standards.
Scientifically Validated Performance
Both OGR 145B and OGR 145S undergo rigorous testing using KIT and Cobb Index measurements. These evaluations ensure optimal grease resistance and water absorbency, guaranteeing consistent quality and reliable barrier protection for diverse packaging applications.
As per the press release, with these innovative coatings, Cosmo Specialty Chemicals reinforces its commitment to sustainability while providing the packaging industry with cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions.
