PVdC major disadvantage – contains chlorine & higher OTR
AlOx / SiOx major disadvantage – brittle & higher OTR
EVOH deteriorates over time in humid storage conditions
SunBar coating replaces PVdC, EVOH, AIOx and SiOx for O2 barrier

18. SunBar UV barrier coatings
The SunBar UV barrier coating acts as a barrier to UV light whilst allowing visible light to penetrate into the package.
Some foods are affected by visible light as well as UV light. The SunBar UV barrier coating is not a barrier to visible light.
Customers need to understand whether blocking the UV light will bring the required benefit.
SunBar UV barrier coating is only available in its pre commercialisation form and is not fully transparent.
Volume commitment is needed for scale up to the fully transparent version.

19. Oxygen Barrier Adhesive19

20. J40-OX+KX43C for non metallized substrates
What is PASLIM
PASLIM is a new generation of patented solvent based adhesive, approved for food packaging application, offering additional oxygen barrier proprieties to the normal feature provided by conventional solvent based adhesive.
PASLIM product range consist of two systems for following application:
J40-OX+KX43C for non metallized substrates
J40-OX+HX42M+AD42 for metallized substrates

21. PASLIM adhesives have been developed with aim of:
Range of application
PASLIM adhesives have been developed with aim of:
Light weighting the laminate retaining the oxygen barrier proprieties
Improve the oxygen barrier proprieties of existing laminates
Retain the barrier proprieties of laminate after retort process
Increasing the shelf life of food staff

22. Key feature of PASLIM adhesive
PASLIM adhesive provide the following features:
Be applied as conventional solvent based adhesive by rotogravure/semi flexo trolley at higher solid content (50-60%)
Same level of performance in term of Bond and Heat seal strength of conventional adhesive (laminate related)
Oxygen barrier proprieties
Flexibility when compare with other barrier coating (eg SiOx, AlOx) avoiding lost of barrier by coating cracking
Oxygen barrier proprieties independent to relative humidity (improve vs EvOH)
Low retort resistance (121°C x 30 min) without loosing oxygen barrier proprieties

23. Conventional adhesive

OTR：cc/m2・day・atm(23℃)　
Coating weight: J40-OX/HX42M/AD42=about 4g/m2(dry)
Conventional adhesive=about 3.5g/m2(dry)
PASLIM protects the barrier layer from flexional stress.

Next is Oxygen barrier adhesive can give barrier properties to conventional films (non barrier films).
In this chart, left side is the combination of conventional AD and conventional films.
And right side is the combination of barrier AD and and conventional films.
Please look at Ny/PE.
In case of Conventional AD, OTR performance in 90% RH is 53, but in barrier AD, OTR performance become 9, so much improved.
OTR：cc/m2・day・atm(23℃)　　MVTR：g/m2・day(40℃/90%RH)
Coating weight: J40-OX/KX43C=about 5g/m2(dry) Conventional adhesive=about 3.5g/m2(dry) 25

26. Comparison data of barrier performance

Next is Oxygen barrier adhesive can enhance the barrier property of metalized films.
In this chart, left side is the combination of Metalized films and conventional AD.
And right side is the combination of Metalized films and conventional films.
Please look at PET12/VMPET12/PE60.
In case with conventional adhesives, OTR performance in 90% RH are 2.1cc
and in case with barrier adhesives OTR performance in 90% RH are 0.1cc
so barrier performance are improved.
OTR：cc/m2・day・atm(23℃)　　MVTR：g/m2・day(40℃/90%RH)
Coating weight: J40-OX/HX42M/AD42=about 4g/m2(dry) Conventional adhesive=about 3.5g/m2(dry) 26

EVOHやPVDC等のﾐﾄﾞﾙﾊﾞﾘｱﾌｨﾙﾑの代替が可能です。
From this slide, I would like to introduce the characters of barrier AD, barrier performance.
First is Oxygen barrier adhesive can replace organic barrier films to conventional films.
In this chart, left side is the combination of conventional AD and middle barrier films.
Right side is the combination of barrier AD and conventional films.
OTR means Oxygen Transmission Rate and MVTR means Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate.
I will pick up some examples.
Compared with EVOH, 0% performance are better but in 90% RH, barrier performance are same.
In K-PET, this K-PET is Japanese one and have good barrier and we can not beat.
But in Chinese PVDC, barrier AD performance are better.
OTR：cc/m2・day・atm(23℃)　　MVTR：g/m2・day(40℃/90%RH)
Coating weight: J40-OX/KX43C=about 5g/m2(dry) Conventional adhesive=about 3.5g/m2(dry) 27

28. Project Simulation – Excel Spreadsheet
To predict the comparative cost/m2, Yield and Barrier performance of alternative barrier structures
Developed to quickly assess alternative barrier laminate structures based on SunBar, Paslim, or a combination of both

29. Example 1 – Retort Sausage Packs (China)
SunBar is not chosen for this application because of the Retort requirement

30. Example 2 – PVdC Film replacement
Depending on the end use application, both SunBar and Paslim offer cost effective alternatives. The choice will be based on other factors eg printing and lamination capability.

31. Example 3 – VMPET replacement

32. Laser Marking 32

33. 1 SunLase™ - Description of principle (1)
SunLase™ coating is used to print a white patch on a substrate
The graphics are created when a low power CO2 laser changes the colour of the patch to black where marked

34. 2 SunLase™ - Description of principle (2)
Sun Chemical has developed the SunLase™ coatings which are sensitive to specific low energy lasers, allowing the marking of high definition variable data on various substrates.
SunLase™ coatings contain specific pigments, that change from white to black when hit by a low energy laser. There is no ablation.
SunLase™ range offers packers and end-users the platform to introduce greater efficiencies and productivity as well as higher quality on their identification marking applications
SunLase™ range covers most of printing and coating technologies: flexo, gravure, dry offset, water-based, solvent-based, oil-based, UV
Patch is printed with a SunLase™ coating
When the coating is marked with a laser – a high definition black graphic appears
