Development and optimization of packaging materials

We develop customized multilayer packaging, including systems based on biopolymers, for foods and technical articles. Shelf-life modeling helps us find the optimal packaging concept for your product. We take into account the transport and storage conditions and any special requirements of the packaging material such as recyclability in accordance with the new German Packaging Act. The characterization and evaluation of packaging materials is performed using our state-of-the-art analytical facilities. In addition we carry out in-house material, migration, and sensory tests to optimize packaging quality.

Especially in the field of barrier and ultra barrier films we are your competent partner due to our many years of experience. Pilot-scale production is possible in our own pilot plant. Multi-layer extrusion of polymeric flat and flexible materials as well as their wet-chemical or vacuum-technical coating on a pilot plant scale has been carried out by us for many years. The (ultra) barrier films developed in this way, also with integrated active function, are used both for food packaging and for technical applications. We evaluate the surface structure (e.g. with AFM), the mechanical and optical properties of packaging materials, and the barrier properties to gases and water vapor. The permeation data are interpreted using advanced simulation programs. This allows us to extrapolate the measurement data to the end value, so considerably shortening measurement times.
