allnex ECOWISE™ CHOICE range offers innovative sustainable packaging solutions with excellent barrier properties. Through innovative technologies like polyurethane dispersions (PUDs), allnex is driving a shift towards sustainable, efficient and recyclable packaging.
allnex offers eco-friendly polyurethane dispersion DAOTAN® TW 6450/30WA for diverse applications and DAOTAN® TW 7000/40WA for enhancing printing inks and packaging.
Sustainable Solutions with Excellent Barrier Properties
The availability and environmental impact of raw materials play a critical role in addressing the plastic waste issue. The latest developments within the ECOWISE™ CHOICE range by allnex stands as a beacon of sustainable packaging design.
Originally developed for automotive (OEM) basecoats, ECOWISE™ CHOICE waterborne PUD DAOTAN® TW 6450/30WA shows outstanding properties such as excellent elasticity, moisture barrier and very good adhesion to a broad range of plastics and metallized substrates. It suitable for specialty
coatings, blister and packaging lamination. It contains low to zero VOC content.
ECOWISE™ CHOICE
waterborne PUD DAOTAN® TW 7000/40WA combines high shear resistance and flexibility. It provides excellent adhesion to plastics and metallized substrates, also water and chemical resistance. Due to very good pigment compatibility, it can be used as ink(jet) binder and its oxygen barrier property makes it suitable for packaging lamination and
coatings. DAOTAN® TW 7000/40WA is also suitable for
plastic coatings for automotive. It is
solvent-free and contains low to zero VOC content.

Maintaining the functional requirements of flexible packaging is a requirement for the packaging industry’s move towards a circular economy. Currently, multi-substrate layers consisting of different types of plastics are used to provide mechanical resistance and barrier properties.
These layers need to preserve nutrition, taste and consistency of the packaged products while keeping out water, sunlight (UV) and air pollutants. allnex technology offers innovative solutions for sustainable packaging materials while maintaining performance and protection properties.
Development of Eco-friendly & Circular Packaging Solutions
This contribution is crucial in the development of more eco-friendly and circular packaging solutions that align with consumer demands, retailers and regulatory bodies.
The concept of mono-material packaging is gaining ground in the pursuit of a circular economy. This design strategy involves creating packaging materials from a single type of material, vastly simplifying the recycling process.
allnex’s PU
Dispersions are instrumental in facilitating this shift. By replacing various barrier
coatings found in multi-substrate packaging, PUDs enable the creation of mono-material packaging without sacrificing the functional requirements of flexible packaging.
