Why are disposable paper bowls waterproof? | KaiLai Packaging

June 13, 2024

Yes, disposable paper bowls typically have a coating. This coating is applied to the inner surface (and sometimes the outer surface) of the paper bowl to achieve waterproofing, oil resistance, and enhanced strength. Common coating materials include:


1. Polyethylene (PE) Coating: This is the most common coating material. Polyethylene film provides excellent waterproof and oil-resistant properties, effectively preventing liquids from penetrating the paper part of the bowl. This material is cost-effective and has a well-established production process, making it widely used.


2. Polylactic Acid (PLA) Coating: PLA is a biodegradable coating material that has become increasingly popular in disposable tableware in recent years. PLA film not only offers waterproof and oil-resistant properties but is also more environmentally friendly as it can degrade under appropriate conditions, having less impact on the environment.


3. Wax Coating: Wax can also be used as a coating material, although its usage is less common. This traditional method of waterproofing effectively prevents liquid penetration but may not perform as well as plastic films in terms of environmental friendliness and heat resistance.


4. Water-Based Polymer Coating: This is a newer type of eco-friendly coating material that uses water-based polymers as the coating. It provides waterproof and oil-resistant properties while being environmentally friendly.


The presence of these coatings ensures that disposable paper bowls maintain good structural integrity during use, preventing softening or leakage when in contact with liquids, thus ensuring their practicality and safety for holding food and beverages.
