Application areas

From lab innovation to
market-ready packaging

At the NP® SiOPack®-technology is universally applicable – inline or offline –
and is already successfully integrated in industrial production lines.
The technology enables high-performance functional barrier coatings for paper, carton and moulded fibre,
that can fully replace conventional polymer coatings used in packaging industry.

Developed in laboratory environments, validated in industrial processing, and proven in real-world production – NP® SiOPack® provides scalable and reliable sustainable packaging solutions across multiple sectors

For direct or indirect food contact, NP® SiOPack®
provides a reliable barrier against grease, moisture, microorganisms and water vapour.
