Industrial development of Chromatogeny
A technology currently being deployed
- Accelerate the industrialization of Chromatogeny
- Develop a pool of machines in France and Europe to meet the needs of targeted markets (food & non-food)
- Support industrials in the transfer of Chromatogeny technology
Aim of the project
Project objectives
The innovative Chromatogeny technology developed by CTP and CNRS enables paper and cardboard to be made hydrophobic using a solvent-free green chemistry process. This technology can also be applied to other types of hydroxylated substrate, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).
The barrier performance of PVOH-coated paper / cardboard, then grafted by Chromatogeny, meets a wide range of specifications, while the final material is recyclable, home-compostable and compostable in an industrial environment. This makes it a material of choice for its use in sectors with stringent property requirements, such as the food industry.
Food contact was validated for this material in July 2024, following the filing of a petition with the BfR XXXVI. With this last hurdle now lifted, all the lights are now on to develop a machine park in France and Europe for a wide range of applications (food and non-food).
Join us to support the actions that are currently underway, and speed up your time-to-market for products compliant with the EU and French directives.
