- Contour PFAS-free Oil and Grease Resistant Technology is a versatile, environmentally friendly solution that provides oil and water resistance for molded fiber food service packaging.

As an alternative to plastic laminated liners, these sustainable water-based barrier coatings are biodegradable, recyclable and repulpable. Ideal for a wide range of end-use applications, from burger wrappers to fast food containers, TopScreen barrier coatings can accommodate printability, flexibility and glueability.
- TopScreen Barrier Coatings for Cupstock are plastic-free, eco-friendly barrier solutions for single-use hot and cold cups and ice cream cups. This barrier coating is ideal as a liquid barrier alternative to polyethylene (PE).
