Multi-Wall Bags
Multi-wall bag manufacturers are using VaporCoat® to eliminate the need for a protective poly film layer. With VaporCoat®’s water-, moisture- and grease resistance, they are able to offer customers the performance of film in a paper-only bag. This can have cost advantages, because the price of film is closely tied to the price of oil.
Manufacturers of dog food and cement also use our non-skid coatings and overprint varnishes to help keep multi-wall bags from sliding off pallets during transport. Our high-angle-of-skid OPVs protect graphics from scratching and smearing without compromising gloss.
Properties That Affect Multi-Wall Bags
CleanGrip® 111: CleanGrip® 111 is an alumina based, nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers by providing excellent slide angles. CleanGrip® 111 has a low pH that does not resolubilize ink and can prevent ink smearing. This product is gluable with both hot melt and cold set glues.
CleanGrip® 2100: CleanGrip® 2100 is a silica based, sprayable nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers by providing excellent slide angles. Because CleanGrip® 2100 is easily cleanable, it takes the worry and mess out of running nonskids. This product is gluable using both hot melt and cold set adhesives.
CleanGrip® 2103: CleanGrip® 2103 is a high solids, sprayable nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers. It provides excellent slide angles and meets most demanding specs. Because CleanGrip® 2103 is easily cleanable, it takes the worry and mess out of running nonskids. This product is both hot melt and cold set gluable.
