A Recyclable Barrier to Moisture#

Rather than using a polyethylene or wax-based moisture barrier coating, Cortec’s EcoShield® Barrier Paper is coated with a water-based barrier coating that resists moisture. This makes it easy to recycle the paper through normal streams since there is no polyethylene or wax in need of separation from the paper fibers. The paper has passed recyclability testing per EU Standards (UNI 11743:2019 and the System of Evaluation Aticelca 501:2019). At the same time, EcoShield® Barrier Paper offers barrier properties within the Water Vapor Transfer Rate (WVTR) of polycoated paper and much better than waxed paper according to the following example test ranges.
