Technical applications
The NP® SiOPack®-technology is not only a sustainable packaging solution, but also an innovative option for technical applications.
By applying the SiO₂ thin-film coating to paper composites and fibre-based materials, a functional barrier is created that effectively protects against moisture, chemical exposure and mechanical stress.
The technology offers a sustainable alternative to conventional polymer-based coatings without impairing the recyclability of the material.
NP® SiOPack® can be used in a wide range of technical applications requiring moisture and chemical protection without relying on plastics. It provides high-performance protective layers that meet the requirements of the automotive, electronics and mechanical engineering industries.
NP® SiOPack® uses a water-based sol-gel process to apply an ultra-thin SiO₂ layer (5-100 nm) to the paper surfaces.
After drying, a glass-like, functional surface is formed, combining hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
The mechanical flexibility of the material is maintained, while the coating provides an effective barrier that protects the paper against moisture and chemical influences.
The NP® SiOPack® approach provides technical industries with a sustainable, food-contact compliant and process-compatible solution that combines functionality with regulatory compliance – ideal for the development of innovative, environmentally responsible packaging solutions.
