Feldmuehle to present mineral oil barrier papers at Packaging Innovations 2017 in Berlin

The question about how to protect foodstuffs against mineral oil contamination has been a driving force for packaging designers and distributors, since a Stiftung Warentest study in 2012 found mineral oil residues in 24 chocolate advent calendars, widely publicising the issue.

Feldmuehle offers paper with mineral oil barrier, providing packaged goods with effective protection against mineral oil migration and contamination. These papers are used by brand owners for the packaging of dry and fatty foodstuffs.

MOB-Liner is a virgin fibre barrier coated paper and is particularly suitable for inner bags in folding boxes and multiwall bags as well as for lamination of corrugated boards. MOB-Flex is also a virgin fibre barrier coated paper and combines an effective mineral oil barrier with a white, glossy surface.

The paper provides outstanding print quality for rotogravure and flexographic printed flexible packaging. Optimal runnability in packaging lines and trouble-free adhesion with hot and cold glues for both products are ensured.

The Feldmuehle barrier coating concept provides paper packaging with an effective protection against mineral oil migration from the surrounding packaging, whether primary or transit packaging.

This allows packaging to be mainly made of renewable fibres. This is particularly beneficial to brand owners who want to safely protect both their product and brand value whilst also ensuring food safety.
