PE Coated Kraft Paper is a type of kraft paper that has been coated with a layer of polyethylene (PE), a plastic material. The coating is applied to enhance the paper's strength, durability, and resistance to moisture, grease, and other environmental factors. PE-coated kraft paper is commonly used in packaging, especially where moisture or liquid protection is essential, such as in the food industry.
PE Coated Kraft Paper is also commonly known as Waterproof Kraft Paper. Kraft paper is naturally strong, and the addition of a PE coating increases its tensile strength and tear resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications in packaging and shipping. Kraft paper is made from wood pulp through a process that maintains a high fiber content, making it an eco-friendly material that is biodegradable and recyclable. However, the PE coating itself is not biodegradable, and recycling can be challenging because of the plastic layer.
