Nodax® 2358 is an aqueous (coating) dispersion of PHA (polyhydroxy-alkanoate) polymer. It is suitable for various food and non-food contact applications, including water barrier, oil & grease barrier, heat seal, moisture vapor barrier, and binder applications. Applications developed with Nodax® 2358 provide properties that can meet or surpass those made using traditional coatings, such as SB Latex and Polyethylene.

Chemical Family: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)

End Uses: Waterborne Coating

Features: Food Contact Acceptable
