ConFlex® CoatBase is a strong kraft paper with excellent coating properties. Compared with standard Billerud grades, this paper enables significantly improved grease, moisture and oxygen barrier performance after coating. The smooth, strong and dense paper surface lets you minimize the amount of coating without compromising barrier performance – helping you reduce your costs and carbon footprint. ConFlex CoatBase is fully recyclable.
ConFlex CoatBase provides a smooth, strong and dense paper surface designed for controlled and efficient coating. Excellent hold-out helps you achieve uniform coating layers and predictable results for grease, moisture and oxygen barriers. This gives you a solid base for producing everything from wrappers and folding packaging to single-use pouches and sachets.
The dense surface of ConFlex CoatBase allows you to reach the required barrier performance with lower coat weights. Efficient coating hold-out reduces the need for excess coating to compensate for absorption into the paper structure. You get lighter packaging without compromising functionality.
ConFlex CoatBase helps you reduce the carbon footprint per packaged product by enabling lightweight, paper-based packaging. Optimized coating usage supports lower material consumption while maintaining required barrier properties. Made from fresh fibers, ConFlex CoatBase is fully recyclable in standard paper recycling streams, allowing you to combine high barrier performance with circular packaging ambitions.
The high air resistance of ConFlex CoatBase reflects a dense structure with good coating hold-out.
Low Bendtsen roughness on the reverse side (RS) indicates a smooth surface optimized for coating.
The low Cobb value shows low water absorption and good moisture resistance.
