Have you ever thought about how lamination can transform your packaging game? . By bonding different materials together, lamination creates a composite that boosts durability, protection, functionality, barrier properties, and even the look of your packaging. So, when you incorporate lamination, you’re not just wrapping your products; you’re safeguarding them against the elements, physical damage, […]

In the fast-paced world of packaging, ensuring materials are up to the task is key. Have you ever thought about how plasma and corona surface treatments can make a difference? These beneficial methods are game changers when it comes to boosting the surface properties of packaging materials. They help with adhesion, printability, and durability, making

Have you ever thought about how flame treatment could transform your extrusion coating process? It’s a fascinating technique that can really boost the quality and performance of your coated materials. By exposing the surface of a substrate to a controlled flame, we can tweak its properties to improve adhesion and coating efficiency. Imagine achieving superior

Have you ever thought about how crucial it is to whip up small batches of materials when you’re trying to innovate? Well, that’s where KCL’s pilot line comes into play. It’s like having a secret weapon for creating a variety of materials on a smaller scale. This nifty capability is a game-changer for testing and

Understanding Microfibrillated Cellulose Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a type of nanocellulose derived from plant fibres. It is characterised by its high surface area and unique fibrillar structure, which imparts exceptional mechanical and rheological properties. MFC is produced through mechanical processes that break down cellulose fibres into micro-sized fibrils, resulting in a material that is both

Why KCL Biowax is Safe for Food Contact KCL Biowax is a water-based dispersion of natural wax, which is inherently safe for food contact applications. The formulation is stabilised by microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), a natural component that enhances the stability and performance of the wax. This ensures that the wax remains effective and safe when

Understanding Rheology in Wax Dispersions Rheology, the study of the flow and deformation of matter, is a critical aspect in the formulation of wax dispersions. In the context of wax dispersions, rheology control ensures that the wax particles are evenly distributed throughout the medium, providing consistent performance and stability. Achieving optimal rheology in wax dispersions

Introduction to KCL Biowax and its Sustainable Properties KCL Biowax is revolutionising the world of sustainable paper and board coatings. As a water-based dispersion of natural wax, KCL Biowax is stabilised by microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), which not only enhances its stability but also optimises the rheology of the dispersion. This innovative formulation acts as an

How to Enhance Adhesion on Biobased Surfaces with KCL Biowax Understanding the Importance of Adhesion on Biobased Surfaces Adhesion is a critical factor in the performance and durability of biobased surfaces. Whether you are working with paper, board, or other biobased materials, ensuring strong adhesion can significantly impact the quality and longevity of your products.
