CelluForce Launches CelluShield™ – Breakthrough Barrier Coating for Recyclable Flexible Packaging
22.9.2025 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
CelluForce, the world leader in cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), today announced the launch of CelluShield™, a high-performance, bio-based barrier coating that enables recyclable flexible packaging without sacrificing shelf life or product protection.
Made from renewable cellulose and formulated as a water-based coating, CelluShield™ combines excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties with compatibility for existing recycling streams. By enabling mono-material structures, the technology helps packaging manufacturers meet both performance demands and circular economy goals.
Developed in collaboration with FPInnovations, CelluShield™ reflects Canada's commitment to advancing innovative sustainable packaging solutions.
High-Performance Meets Sustainability
CelluShield™ protects food, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products without harmful chemicals or complex multilayer laminates. Key benefits include:
- High barrier performance: OTR < 1 cc/m²·day and WVTR < 1 g/m²·day at 1 gsm coat weight.
- Recyclable mono-material design: Enables PE, PP, or PET structures to meet EPR and EU PPWR requirements.
- Safe & renewable: Bio-based, PFAS-free, VOC-free, chlorine-free, FDA and Health Canada compliant.
“Brand owners and converters no longer need to choose between performance and recyclability,” said Sébastien Corbeil, President and CEO of CelluForce. “CelluShield™ delivers a practical solution that protects products, reduces carbon footprint, and simplifies recycling while using a water-based technology that runs on existing equipment.”
Seamless Integration
Engineered for easy adoption on existing production lines, CelluShield™ is applied using reverse gravure coating and works with standard lamination for PE, PP, and PET films. It is available as a ready-to-use coating for in-house application or as pre-coated film for streamlined supply chain integration.
Empowering the Packaging Value Chain
- Converters: Turnkey path to recyclable, high-barrier structures without costly retooling.
- Brand owners: Supports goals for 100% recyclable packaging and lower carbon footprint while extending shelf life.
- Consumers: Benefit from safer, more sustainable packaging.
