Monomaterials, new processes and barrier coatings on films and papers are the focus of this year's Barrier Film Conference. Sustainability is also a key driver of innovation in the field of barrier... [Show more] films.
But what new materials are actually available for barrier films?Why are new materials and processes needed at all?
Which requirements can already be met today? Can pasteurization or even sterilization already be achieved with monomaterials using new processes?
What about the recyclability and, of course, the product protection of the filling goods?

This year we will approach the topic from three directions:

1. what new materials are available? And by that we don't just mean traditional polymers, but also biopolymers and fiber materials such as paper.

2. which new processes help us to produce monomaterials with good barrier properties for better recycling? Triple bubble stretching, MDO stretching and simultaneous stretching play an important role here.

3. what can barrier coatings achieve today and for which applications does it make sense to switch to alternative materials such as biofilms or paper?

You can look forward to the most important conference on barrier films and barrier coatings. Enjoy the popular supporting program the evening before and the traditional wine tasting in summery Würzburg. A must for all those who produce barrier films, use them for packaging or are interested in their finishing and processing.
