Coatings and surface treatment

An innovative, plasmonic paint system uses nanoparticles to create structural colours without the need for multiple pigments. This system, which needs less product and is more colour stable, is also more environmentally friendly, lighter and cheaper than traditional paint systems.

The new project BeFORE - Barrier for recycling - in which Sirris is involved, focuses on recyclable material innovations for ’contact sensitive’ plastic and paper packaging with high quality barrier properties. Its main goal is to improve design for recycling of primary packaging. This by studying the implementation potential of promising flexible packaging materials with alternative barrier materials. The project will focus on the food, pet food and cosmetics industry. Interested in partaking? Join us!
