Packaging Industry

GP Chemicals manufactures many products used by the packaging industry. These products can be coatings for substrates, products used in hot melt adhesives or even the inks used for packaging printing.

We offer a full line of aqueous-based coatings that include pigmented white coatings ranging from preprinted graphic grades to waxable white linerboard as well as functional, wax replacement and cohesive coatings and overprint varnish for boxboard applications. The NOVACOTE PC® portfolio provides a range of resistance to water, oil or grease. Several products are flexo printable. Additionally, most can be glued with cold set and/or hot melt adhesives. Most products are FDA approved for dry food contact and aqueous and fatty food contact. In addition, we can formulate custom products to meet individual customer equipment requirements for your applications.

Our packaging coatings products are used on paperboard, linerboard, boxboard, OCC linerboard and even liquid packaging. Specific products have been developed for the unique needs of bakery, protein and produce packaging.

In adhesives, our NOVARES® tall oil rosin esters are used for tackifying hot melt and other adhesives for paperboard packaging and pressure-sensitive labels.
