Moving To Fluorine-Free Oil Barriers
Replacing fluorinated barrier coatings on food contact paper without losing grease resistance.
Establish the barrier level you actually need
CHEMSUM's published range reaches a KIT value up to 12. Wrappers, cup stock, bakery paper and oil barrier board do not all need the same number.
Choose the chemistry
The Fluoride-Free Oil Proof Agent is built on bio-based waxes, silicone and polymer emulsions. The broader Oil Proof Agent range also covers silicone, wax and polymer formulations.
Decide the application point
Barrier agents can be applied by size press, film press or coating system, and can be run as internal or surface treatment.
Check it against the rest of the wet end
These agents are compatible with AKD sizing systems, surface sizing agents and optical brighteners, which matters when the barrier is the last thing added to a working recipe.
Keep the sheet printable
Barrier work that costs you stiffness, smoothness or printability has moved the problem rather than solved it.

What You Will Be Choosing Between
Oil Proof Agent
Grease strike-through turns a printed wrapper into a complaint.
AKD Wax
Emulsifying your own AKD only pays if the wax purity and particle size are consistent.
Wet Strength Agent
Tissue, towel and liquid packaging have to hold together wet, which dry strength chemistry cannot do.
