Materials research

Our packaging work doesn’t just involve design. We conduct research to understand material properties and structure, using state-of-the-art instrumentation including microscopy.

There are many varied requirements of packaging, such as having to withstand microwaving and oven temperatures, and not contaminating food if packaging surfaces are in contact with food for years. Food machinery can also have demanding requirements, such as resisting fouling, being easy to clean and hard wearing. New surface coatings can offer all these properties.

The need for environmentally friendly products also drives our search for new materials.
