Designing for the Future: Sustainability without Compromise

The packaging industry faces its biggest challenge: moving from a linear to a circular model without sacrificing product protection. At Coaterex, we integrate Michelman's advanced water-based polymer technology to offer coatings that make the impossible possible:

Real Monomateriality

We convert non-recyclable multimaterial structures into monomaterial solutions (all PE, all Paper, or all PP).

Resource Efficiency

We achieve the same barrier and sealing performance using micron-thin coating layers, drastically reducing the use of plastic raw materials.

Food Safety

Formulations suitable for direct and indirect food contact (FDA), free of solvents and hazardous compounds.

Applied Engineering: Smart Structures

We don't sell products, we develop structures.

At Coaterex, we help you redesign your packaging layer by layer. Examples of what we can achieve together:

1High Barrier Paper Bag (Recyclable)

Exterior: OPV Varnish (Thermal Protection + Gloss)
Core: Oxygen Barrier Coating
Interior: Heat Seal (Sealing + Grease Barrier)
Substrate: Kraft Paper
Result: Total replacement of Paper/Alu/PE structures.

2Monomaterial PE Film (Recyclable)

Coating: Michem® Flex Oxygen Barrier
Substrate: MDOPE (Oriented Polyethylene)
Result: High barrier packaging ready for PE recycling stream.
