Valencia, 2026 – Color Industrial, S.A., a leader in advanced chemical solutions, has announced the official launch of its flagship product under the HYNSEL brand: Aqua-Block Pro (reference NW-126 HVP). This innovative hydrophobic coating has been specifically designed to transform the performance of Kraft Liner board in the most demanding sectors of the agri-food logistics industry.
Tailored Chemistry for Global Challenges
The development of Aqua-Block Pro addresses the critical need to maintain the structural integrity of packaging during extended maritime exports and cold storage. Thanks to a "Tailored Chemistry" system, the product utilizes an aqueous dispersion of synthetic copolymers and high-density natural wax.
- Superior Mechanical Resistance: It offers excellent wet folding performance and prevents cracking on creasing lines.
- Plant Optimization: Its antifoaming formulation ensures immediate leveling in Anilox systems.
Sustainability and Food Safety: HYNSEL's Priorities
In an increasingly regulated market, Color Industrial, S.A. is committed to PFAS-Free technology, eliminating the use of fluoropolymers and paraffin waxes to reduce toxicity risks. Furthermore:
- Circular Economy: Aqua-Block Pro is fully recyclable in conventional paper processing plants.
Quality Control and Application
To ensure success in long-distance exports, the product allows for water absorption targets (COBB 60) of less than 25 g/m² under sustained humidity conditions. With a dry application rate of only 5 to 6 g/m² and thermal activation starting at 80 °C, cardboard manufacturers can now offer high-performance packaging that protects farmers' investment from origin to final destination.
