Einar® 1122 anti-fog coating solution

• Einar® 1122 is a highly efficient water-based coating solution

• Einar® 1122 is applicable for a wide range of polymers where anti-fog performance is achieved by very thin coatings

• Einar® 1122 is made from food-grade additives and water only

Application backgroundEfficient anti-fog properties are very important in many packaging applications and a wide range of polymers are used to cover different needs in each of these applications. Topically applied anti-fog agents are the only possible ap-proach when migratory additives fail to provide the required performance. This is the case in applications where migra-tion is hindered by high crystallinity of the polymer or its bonding to the additive.

.PET and PS are typical examples of polymers where topical coatings are the most efficient way to achieve good and reliable anti-fogging performance. There are applications in both PE and PP where coatings will greatly benefit the performance. One obvious example is anti-fogging for BOPP which might not be achievable by migratory additives alone.

Einar® 1122 anti-fogging coating solution

Einar® 1122 – for cold and hot fog applicationsEinar® 1122 is a water-based, solvent-free dispersion of food-grade anti-fog additives. After coating and drying, anti-fog performance can be achieved with coating concentrations down to 25 mg/m2. This refers to a coating thickness after drying of about 25nm. For a robust and lasting effect, surface concentrations of 50 - 150 mg/m2 are generally recommended.

This way, Einar® 1122 delivers efficient and consistent performance in applications requiring uncompromising quality, such as oriented and stretched polyolefin and polyester films, as well as thermoforming applications.

Einar® 1122 anti-fog coatings compare exceptionally well with competing products and have proven superior performance in numerous evaluations.
