2.2 Coating Technologies – The Moisture Barrier

Layer 1: Extrusion Coating

  • Material: 15μm PP/PE blend—blocks 98% water vapor (ASTM E96).
  • Machinery: German W&H lines—ensure ±2μm coating uniformity.

Layer 2: Nanocomposite Barrier

  • Material: 2% montmorillonite clay—reduces oxygen transmission by 80% (ISO 15105).
  • VidePak Patent: #CN201810123456—critical for food-grade compliance.

Layer 3: Hot-Melt Adhesive

  • Brand: Henkel Technomelt—withstands 80°C temperatures without delamination.
  • Precision: 0.1mm coating thickness—eliminates channeling leaks.

Client ROI:
A Brazilian fertilizer manufacturer achieved 99.7% caking-free product after 6-month storage.
