Expera Launches Grease-Gard Family of Brands

 

Expera Specialty Solutions, Kaukauna, Wis., USA, a producer of food packaging solutions, continues to expand its Grease-Gard® family of brands, including its Grease-Gard FluoroFree® papers. Grease-Gard FluoroFree provides exceptional grease resistance for food wraps, clamshells, microwave popcorn bags, and quick service restaurant bags, without the use of fluorochemicals. 

"When there is a preference to have grease-proof products without the use of fluorochemicals, Expera Specialty Solutions has the unique capability of manufacturing them," said Robyn Buss, Expera VP of Sales and Marketing. "Increasingly, consumers are looking for a fluorochemical-free option, and they still need the product to meet FDA requirements for food contact and be cost-effective and eco-friendly. At Expera we are uniquely situated to provide that option."

Grease-Gard FluoroFree papers not only meet a wide variety of grease resistant needs, but also offer a broad range of basis weights, an array of finishes, and great glueability and printability. Staying committed to Expera's sustainability Initiative, SOAR™, the Grease-Gard FluoroFree papers can be produced with bleached, natural, blended, and post-consumer waste recycled options that are FDA approved for direct food contact. 

"We keep adapting our Grease-Gard family of technologies to hit every performance and sustainability goal you need," said Zack Leimkuehler, Expera Product Development Manager. "Expera has been manufacturing grease-resistant papers since the 1930s, well before the creation of fluorochemistry."

Expera Specialty Solutions is the leading North American manufacturer of specialty paper products for use in the tape, pressure-sensitive release liner, industrial and food packaging segments. The company’s specialty solutions' manufacturing platform includes machines at four Wisconsin mills located in Rhinelander, Mosinee, Kaukauna, and De Pere. More information is available online.
