Lock 3 - Innovative Hygiene Technology for Flexible Packaging

Packaging passes through many hands before it reaches the end consumer at home. This can facilitate the transmission of bacteria and viruses. Many hygiene concepts are often not even able to correctly face this problem.
In order to permanently reduce the germ load on surfaces, it was previously possible to print paper and cardboard (e.g. table mats, airline menus, brochures, magazines) with the antimicrobial lacquer Lock 3.

Following extensive further development, this lacquer is now available for laminates and pouches. This helps close hygiene gaps and it's a real innovation in the field of flexible packaging. Lock 3 keeps packaging exteriors hygienically clean on the shelf and at home, significantly reducing the possibility of germs spreading via the packaging surface. For feeling safe in times of pandemic and beyond.
Applications
- Can be used on laminates and pouches for dry and wet products
- Suitable for flexible packaging for pasteurization and sterilization

Acts naturally: Germ Reduction through Light and Air
|
The Lock 3 hygiene technology is based on the principle of natural photocatalysis. A patented molecule activates the ambient oxygen by the action of daylight or artificial light. This creates singlet oxygen, which washes around and destroys the cell envelopes of the germs. Continuously and long-lasting. |
