BarrierShield

Hybrid Nano Spherical Silica + Nano platelets based Gas Barrier Additive for High Performance WVTR and OTR in Films and Packaging.

This next gen barrier additive uses a hybrid matrix of Nano-Silica spheres and layered Nanostructures to create a highly tortuous path, drastically reducing oxygen, moisture, gas permeation in polymer films and components. Processed into a stable Nano-dispersion and spray-dried into a dispersible powder, it enhances barrier properties while also improving strength, stability, thermal resistance without compromising clarity or processing ease. By leveraging Nanoscale engineering, BarrierShield™ ensures uniform dispersion of barrier agents, leading to consistent performance even in thin film applications. Its advanced morphology not only blocks gas diffusion
but also improves film processability, offering converters greater flexibility in mono- and multilayer structures. This addresses long-standing issues of balancing barrier efficiency with optical clarity,
recyclability, mechanical strength.
