Packaging – IRIS-INNOVATION

Nemosine

Nemosine Innovative packaging solutions for storage and conservation of 20th-century cultural heritage of artefacts based on cellulose derivate A huge percentage of the recent European cultural heritage (CH) can be found in movies, photographies, posters and slides produced between 1895 and 1970 were made using cellulose derivates. More than 75 years of visual and audio [...]

Durawood

Durawood Plasma treatment to enhance coated wood durability For wood to compete with other materials and be attractive to customers, the durability of treated wood facades of at least 5-8 years renovation-free should be guaranteed. New EC legislation (2004/42/EC) requires the replacement of solvent-borne coating systems with water-borne coatings for outdoor wood preservation purposes. Wooden [...]

Thime

Thime Monitoring of coatings in OPV production Printing and other large-area roll-to-roll (R2R)-compatible processes present exciting opportunities for cost-efficient mass manufacturing of electronics, among other functionalities, on large-area and flexible substrates such as plastic, paper and fabrics. In particular, thin-film Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) are generating a buzz in the industry. Printing the active components of [...]

OptiNanoPro

OptiNanoPro Processing and control of novel nanomaterials in packaging, automotive and solar panel processing lines Optimal nanomaterials processing for packaging, automotive and OPV: Nanotechnologies are the sources of unprecedented properties for polymers, both in terms of bulk and surfaces. Nonetheless, their processing at an industrial scale is still challenging. IRIS is developing tailored systems to [...]

Wheylayer

Wheylayer Barrier Biopolymers for sustainable packaging Barrier Bioplastic coating for packaging: Sensitive/fresh food, cosmetic, pharma products need tailored protection generally brought by multilayer plastic film. Coatings based on whey protein, an underutilized by-product from cheese making, were developed for replacing currently used expensive synthetic oxygen barrier layers for packaging applications while safeguarding their [...]
