Pulpex x BASF x Scitech Adhesives - Coatings Collaboration
The Pulpex partnership with BASF and Scitech Adhesives is a unique blend of distinct competencies and capabilities that enables and facilitates commercial success.
When Pulpex developed its renewable fibre bottle technology from sustainably sourced wood pulp, BASF stepped in to accelerate the options for coating chemistries to form an array of commercial products.
Cellulose fibres, when formed into a bottle shape, will not hold liquid, so a recyclable barrier chemistry solution was needed. It quickly became clear that different products required different barrier properties to protect them from the environment and prevent liquid from escaping from the bottle and that’s where we stepped in to complete the partnership. A collaboration that has resulted in a fibre bottle that offers brand owners a sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic and glass bottles.
We had a great time at the Chemuk25 Expo collecting our award for 'Innovation through Partnership' with Pulpex and BASF and are incredibly proud of the part we have played in the creation of a fibre bottle that offers brand owners a sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic and glass.
