BASF is presenting numerous new solutions for the packaging and furniture industry, automotive and electrical engineering at this year’s Fakuma, the international trade fair for plastics processing, in Friedrichshafen, Germany from October 13 to 17, 2015.
At the last Fakuma, BASF showed prototypes of coffee capsules made of Ultradur B1520 Food Contact material.
Today, the easy flowing material is in use in two series production applications: in sauce tubs from the Gautschi and coffee capsules from Equity Holding.
The material provides an effective water vapor, oxygen and, above all, aroma barrier without requiring extra coatings.
Products in packages made of this polybutylene terephthalate material stay fresh for considerably longer, as Gautschi confirms.
Thanks to its Food Contact certification, the product is suitable for food and cosmetics packaging.
