Various Application Features

Paper & Board

  • Lowering CO2 (moving from solvent based to water based)
  • Replacing Plastic
  • Reducing waste (recyclable)
  • Reducing substances of high concern (no Fluorochemicals - PFAS)
  • Improving barrier properties (oxygen, water, grease)

Paper & Board: Molding with Curran

  • Wet-end blending of normal pulp & Curran
  • Enhanced strength
  • No "dusting" or "hairy" fibers on surface
  • Higher density, lower porosity
  • Shape retention & strength when wet
  • Excellent barrier performance with thinner coating
  • Both 3D molded packaging and flat paper/board
  • For applications requiring high barrier, long shelf life and strength
  • Recyclable, compostable, biodegradable

Paper & Board: - Coating with Curran

  • Excellent moisture barrier for tough applications
  • Very high oxygen barrier
  • Strong grease/oil barrier for greasy foods
  • Compostable at home
  • Repulpable/recyclable on paper due to thin layers
  • Good heat sealibility
  • Food contact approved

Curran in Food

  • Reduces sugar and fat in food
  • Maintains texture & taste
  • Natural emulsifies and thickener that does not gel
  • Reduces other components in food and sauces, such as egg
  • Helps reduce costs
