VpCI-355 EcoCoat offers a cleaner way to improve the moisture resistance of paper packaging. It is a water-based barrier coating designed for paper, recycled paper, paperboard, and corrugated materials.

After application, the coating helps close the small pores in the surface. This slows the movement of water and moisture vapour through the paper while allowing the material to remain recyclable and repulpable when processed correctly.

Unlike traditional wax coatings, VpCI-355 EcoCoat does not create a heavy wax layer. It also provides an alternative to polyethylene-coated paper, which can be more difficult to process in standard paper recycling systems.

The coating can be used on its own where moisture resistance is the main requirement. It may also be combined with selected VpCI corrosion-inhibiting coatings when the packaging must protect metal items from both humidity and corrosion.

What is VpCI-355 EcoCoat?

VpCI-355 EcoCoat is a liquid barrier treatment used to improve the water resistance of paper-based packaging.

It is supplied as a water-based coating and applied during the paper converting or packaging production process. Once dried, the treated sheet can be cut, printed, folded, glued, or formed into different packaging designs.

The coating works by covering the porous paper surface with a thin barrier layer. This helps limit the amount of moisture that can pass through the sheet.

The finished material remains flexible enough for normal converting operations. It can therefore be used for carton liners, wrapping sheets, paperboard panels, inserts, covers, and other packaging formats.

One of the main advantages of VpCI EcoCoat is that it supports recyclable packaging production. Paper treated with the coating can remain repulpable, unlike many wax- or plastic-coated materials that require more complicated recycling methods.

For metal packaging applications, the coating can also be used with corrosion-inhibiting technology. This gives the packaging two useful functions: moisture resistance on the outside and corrosion protection around the packed metal.

Technical Specifications of VpCI-355 EcoCoat

Certifications, Standards and Compliance

The standards below relate to paper recyclability, packaging recovery, quality management, environmental practices, and laboratory testing. Product-specific certification should always be confirmed through the latest manufacturer documentation.

Aticelca 501 – Method used to verify the recyclability of paper products through a laboratory simulation of standard paper recycling processes.

UNI 11743 – Technical standard used to assess the recyclability of paper and paperboard materials.

UNI EN 13430 – Standard covering requirements for packaging that can be recovered through material recycling.

ISO 9001 – International standard for quality management systems, process control, and continual improvement.

ISO 14001 – International standard for environmental management systems and the control of environmental impacts.

ISO/IEC 17025 – International standard covering the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

The current product data sheet confirms that VpCI-355 EcoCoat is a recyclable and fully repulpable water-barrier coating, while ISO accreditation applies to the manufacturer’s processes rather than automatically certifying the individual product.

Conclusion

Ordinary paper packaging can quickly absorb moisture when exposed to changing temperatures or humid environments. Wax and polyethylene coatings may improve water resistance, but they can also reduce the recyclability of the finished packaging.

VpCI-355 EcoCoat offers a water-based alternative for businesses that need a reliable moisture barrier without giving up recyclability or repulpability. It can be applied to paper, recycled paper, paperboard, and corrugated liners using common industrial coating systems.

The coating is suitable for cartons, liners, sheets, wraps, and export packaging used in industrial, automotive, engineering, marine, oil and gas, and logistics applications.
