CeraSleeve® is a patented paper coating technology that
minimizes waste, maximizes material recovery and conserves resources.
The key advantage of our ultra-thin and eco-friendly solution lies in its ability to replace conventional wet-strength and sizing agents with a sustainable material.
CeraSleeve® is completely free of plastic and can be applied to a wide range of products.
Paper is a highly sustainable and natural product. However, numerous paper products undergo functionalization to enhance their physical properties.
For instance, wet-strength papers like paper towels are treated with wet-strength agents, whereas water-resistant papers are often modified with sizing agents. These paper products share the following challenges:
Today, wet-strength or water resistant paper products are hardly recyclable in conventional processes.
Most paper additives and coatings today consist of polymers made from fossil raw materials.
They are not bio-degradable and a source of microplastic.
Side products from wet-strength and sizing agents can migrate from paper into food and are suspected to be harmful.
CeraSleeve® coated paper can easily be recycled in conventional processes. In that way, valuable fibers re-enter the cycle and are recovered instead of being burnt.
CeraSleeve® consists of silica, which is fully inorganic. Silica can be found in large quantities in nature and is neutral to the environment.
CeraSleeve® does not harm the environment or health. Silica is widely used in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical products.
