Description:

Today, the term “synthetic paper” refers to a paper-like material made of petroleum-derived polymers (typically polyolefin) and mineral particulate additives (e.g., calcium carbonate).It is often called “stone paper” in Asia because the calcium carbonate powder is in fact finely ground rocks of different sizes.

The use of synthetic paper reduces the need for pulp paper which has one of the most energy intensive and environmentally unfriendly production process.Comparatively, making of synthetic paper is a much cleaner, less energy demanding process, thus generating much smaller carbon foot print.Additionally, depending on the applications synthetic paper often retain its plastic properties such as better mechanical properties and directionalities, better barrier properties (e.g., moisture, oil, oxygen), and broader optical effects to fit end-use requirements.

Unifosa currently is developing synthetic paper films that can be tailored for various packaging applications.Our target product range includes:

• Thickness from 15 to 100 micrometer
• Density from 20 to 80 gram per square meter
• A wide range of mechanical and barrier properties
• Food grade films
• Printable films
