Aquaban® 9010A is a concentrated, general-purpose water-based barrier coating for paper and corrugated board. The coating is designed to provide water repellency and improve resistance to liquid water on treated substrates.

For corrugated applications, Aquaban® 9010A should be diluted with water prior to use, depending on the required level of protection. A typical dilution ratio is 1:1 with water. For certain general paperboard applications other than corrugated, the coating may be applied without dilution.

• Gluable with most cold-set and hot-melt adhesives
• Printable with most flexographic inks when applied at a 1:1 dilution ratio

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Aquaban® 9010A suitable for corrugated packaging applications?

Yes. Aquaban® 9010A is designed for use on paper and corrugated board. In corrugated applications, the coating is typically diluted before use to achieve the desired level of water repellency.

Can Aquaban® 9010A be used in recyclable paper packaging?

Aquaban® 9010A is designed to maintain the repulpability of the treated board, which supports fiber recovery during recycling processes.

Can Aquaban® 9010A be integrated into existing paper converting operations?

Aquaban® 9010A can be applied using common coating methods used in paper converting operations, such as blade, rod, or spray application, which may allow integration into existing production lines depending on the process setup.

How can I purchase Aquaban® 9010A or determine if it is the right coating for my application?

Organizations interested in Aquaban® 9010A or similar water-based barrier coatings can contact IGI to discuss their specific packaging requirements.
