Siegwerk to present new functional paper coatings at Specialty Papers Europe 2024

Meet Siegwerk at Europe’s leading conference for the specialty paper and packaging industry on September 3-4, 2024, and learn more about the company’s latest barrier and heat-seal coatings for use in paper mills.

Siegwerk, one of the leading global providers of printing inks and coatings for packaging applications and labels, has announced its participation in Specialty Papers Europe 2024, a premier conference for the specialty paper and packaging industry, taking place on September 3-4, 2024, in Vienna, Austria.

Siegwerk experts will be available for discussions at the conference and provide insights into the company’s ink and functional coating portfolio that supports the realization of high-performing, circular paper packaging, including some new barrier and sealing coatings specially designed for paper mills.

Here, functional coatings can play a key role in achieving the required functionalities that are crucial for the performance and durability of the paper packaging without compromising its natural recyclability. A topic the company expert will also address in more detail in his presentation “Functionalizing paper for packaging applications” on day two of the conference.

From barrier coatings through heat seal and protection coatings to delamination and deinking primers, Siegwerk already offers a wide range of water-based and solvent-based functional coatings under its CIRKIT product portfolio today, covering different applications, substrates, coating processes and performances.

At Specialty Papers Europe 2024, the company will now take the opportunity to present four new water-based CIRKIT products specially designed for use in paper mills.

All coatings are available worldwide and are always tailored to individual customer requirements, including specific regional regulations and local market needs.

As part of its new coating applications for paper mills, Siegwerk now introduces CIRKIT BAR SEAL CT 1420 and CIRKIT BAR SEAL CT 1422, two multi-functional coating systems of which the latter is not only suitable for paper and board but also for metallized papers. They both combine good barrier functionality against liquids and water vapor with excellent heat-seal capabilities and thus enable innovative paper solutions without the need for separate plastic lamination.

With CIRKIT BAR CT 2513 the company offers another excellent barrier coating for paper mills that features both effective barrier properties against grease and oil as well as high heat resistance. And with CIRKIT NATUBAR CT 4326, there is now also a paper coating solution available that is based on natural raw materials and not only offers a good barrier functionality against liquids, grease and oil but also complies with the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD).

Today, the company can already look back on various successful development projects with customers and industry partners that have resulted in advanced packaging solutions. Together with Packiro, Siegwerk for example created a sustainable fiber-based packaging solution with high protective barrier properties and 100% recyclability. In other development projects, the company and its partners successfully realized various in-line printed paper pouches with high barrier properties, strong sealing strength and good recyclability, for example for razor blades or peppermint sweets – to just name a few development examples for the paper and board market.

Siegwerk is constantly working on new customized solutions that comply with existing and upcoming regulations of European legislation to actively support the design of circular packaging innovations and thus further strengthen its relevance as development partner for sustainable packaging solutions in the sense of a Circular Economy.
