Solvera (PFPE : Perfluoropolyether)

Solvera® PFPE is a sustainable surface treatment developed by Solvay to increase the grease resistance of paper packaging, pizza boxes, popcorn bags, petfood bags and food wraps. 

Application

  • Smart pizza packaging

Pizza boxes enhanced with Solvera® PFPE ensure a more attractive product, free of greasy stains. These boxes are recyclable, compostable, biodegradable and contain no PFOAs and will not degrade into PFOA.

  • Grease Resistant C1S for Multiwall Paper Pet Food Packaging

Paper treated with Solvera PFPE can be used to eliminate staining and maintain high quality print graphics on the exterior of small, medium and large multiwall paper sacks. Grease resistant C1S is used for pet food packaging and other oil containing foods like corn meal or batter. This grade can also be applied in charcoal packaging applications.

  • QSR Fast Food Packaging

Solvera PFPE is the sustainable product of choice for QSR grease resistant packaging applications from light weight wraps to clamshells to SBS board. Solvera treated packaging improves packaging aesthetics and eliminates grease bleed through which can leave stains or negatively impact the fast food customer experience.

  • Microwave Popcorn Packaging

Some Solvera PFPE products are approved for use in both inner and outer ply microwave packaging applications. These molecules meet or exceed all US FDA standards for safe use in both of these applications. Solvera has been commercially proven and applied in both the inner and outer plies of microwave popcorn packaging.

  • Molded Paper Plates

Solvera PFPEs can be applied to impart grease resistance to molded paper plates and other molded paper applications.
