Stahl launches Repura barrier coatings

New portfolio targets paper-based packaging with oil, moisture and oxygen barrier performance.

Stahl has launched Repura, a new barrier coatings portfolio designed to enable the replacement of plastic materials in paper-based packaging without compromising protection, functionality or recyclability.

The range provides barrier performance against oil and grease, water and water vapor, and oxygen transmission, and is suitable for direct food-contact applications across paper and board as well as flexible packaging. Coated paper-based packaging remains recyclable and repulpable, supporting the transition away from plastic-based films and foils while maintaining shelf appeal.

'With Repura, we enable brands to protect what matters most: product quality, consumer trust and circular design,' said Paul Grzebielucha, group director of packaging coatings at Stahl. 'Our barrier coatings combine high performance with recyclability, helping brands move toward paper-based packaging without compromise.'
