Gelatin for Paper Coating

Avoiding Packaging Waste and Microplastics

Plastic packaging has become a significant environmental concern, contributing to pollution in various forms such as long-lasting microplastics in soil, oceans, and even in the human body.

Consequently, it is crucial to urgently seek alternatives to plastic packaging.

One potential solution lies in the use of paper-based packaging materials.

However, it is essential to ensure that these packaging materials possess the required performance to effectively protect the goods they enclose, maintaining their properties and ensuring convenient handling for consumers. Particularly when dealing with oily or fatty materials or oxygen-sensitive goods, a reliable barrier becomes essential. To equip paper-based materials with satisfactory barrier functions, the addition of barrier coatings are often necessary.

Gelatin and protein solutions like NOVOTEC^® CP800 are natural biodegradable biopolymers that can offer barrier functions against fat, high temperature (up to 220°C) or oxidation for coating solutions.

Metalworking Fluids

Cooling and Lubricating of Workpieces and Equipment

Globally, thousands of tons of metalworking fluids (MWFs) are consumed each year. Those fluids are indispensable for protecting workpieces and equipment against abrasive wear and overheating during lathing, drilling, milling or grinding. Despite an uncertain economic climate, the demand for these fluids has continued to grow steadily.

Cleaning Additives

Enhancing the Effectiveness of Cleaning Agents

Cleaning additives are formulated to enhance the effectiveness of cleaning agents by improving their ability to remove tough stains and dirt from various surfaces. Conventional cleaning agents often use water-repellent substances such as wax or silicones to prevent renewed soiling. Both produce residues that hamper the removal of water-insoluble dirt.

Galvanization Aid

Enhancing Quality and Efficiency in Electroplating

In the galvanic industry, gelatin is a well-known additive in the bath solutions. It serves multiple functions, including increasing or decreasing the mobility of ions in the electrolytic solution, complexing with metal ions, increasing overpotential to ensure a uniform deposit of metal atoms on the surface, and influencing the morphology of metal crystals.
