Omya and BASF jointly develop coater-ready barrier solutions

Ludwigshafen, Germany and Oftringen, Switzerland - BASF and Omya announced that are working jointly on coater-ready barrier solutions for paper and cardboard packaging.

The companies said that this cooperation is their response to the growing demand for these products. In future, this will provide a service for customers who for capacity and plant technology reasons cannot prepare formulations and mixtures independently. Coater-ready solutions consist mainly of pigments, additives and functional barrier dispersions.

BASF's and Omya's contributions to the partnership complement each other ideally, the companies said. BASF supplies barrier dispersions, while Omya provides the pigments and experience to manufacture these products and produces them in its own facilities. Thanks to their technical know-how and knowledge of the market, the two partners can guarantee an optimal solution for the paper and cardboard packaging manufacturers. Marketing will be carried out through the sales channels of Omya in Europe. A first commercial product will be available in the first quarter of 2015.
