Deliverable presents a decision-matrix for selecting effective coating treatments for substrates, highlighting implications for sustainability and application performance.
This deliverable intends to shortlist the most appropriate coating treatments to functionalise substrates. The selection was based on three main criteria: - Technical properties granted by the material, for instance flexibility, mechanical strength or barrier properties. - Sustainability/availability - Potential for large scale applications Untreated paper and pre-treated paper with MFC and 3D molded trays are used as substrates. The coating solutions are being investigated under separate pilots. PHA, chitosan, natural waxes, starch, MFC and SiOx as coating systems were investigated under separate pilots and tested for their water and oil repellence, OTR and WVTR for their evaluation. The document was also intended to present overall characteristics of a packaging material via an overview of different pilots. In technical matters and material supply, the expertise and capacity of the consortium members was brought into service
