Doing more with less
Barrier coating · Flexible packaging · Since 2018

Remove layers. Not protection.

A thin layer of O2X high oxygen barrier coating replaces the layers you take out. Recyclable mono-material, without giving up protection.

Why O2X

Three pillars, one coating: barrier that extends shelf life, structures that get simpler, packs that recyclers accept.

Barrier Performance

OTR < 1 mono-material · < 0.1 metallised

Holds barrier in high humidity · year-round protection

Simplification

3-ply to 2-ply structures

Runs on existing dry laminators or coaters (rotogravure)

Recyclability

94-95% recyclable (Cyclos-HTP)

RecyClass Technology Approval

How O2X works

A patented water-based oxygen barrier coating with hybrid silicate-polymer chemistry, applied directly to your substrate, sandwiched between two film layers as a thin barrier.

Real customer swaps

Multilayer out.
Mono-PE in.

O2X takes over the oxygen-barrier work of aluminium foil, EVOH and nylon. Three commercial swaps across coffee, frozen and chilled food, from ten projects shipping today across four countries.

From food to non-food applications

One coating, configured to match the oxygen sensitivity of each product category.

Coffee, dairy, snacks, pet food, detergent, shampoo and other recyclable mono-material packaging applications

Categories O2X serves: sauces, frozen food, pet food, snacks, coffee, dairy, homecare, beverages.

Beyond the coating

A coating is only useful when the pack works.

Barrier performance is only part of the job. Aegis stays close to the pack from first sample to commercial run, so a sustainability target never becomes a new technical risk.
