Ahlstrom-Munksjö North America speciality solutions business area sales and marketing vice-president Robyn Buss said: “When there is a preference to have grease-proof products without the use of PFAS, Ahlstrom-Munksjö has the unique capability of manufacturing them.

“Increasingly, consumers and brand owners are looking for a PFAS-free option, and yet they still need the product to meet FDA requirements for food contact, be cost-effective, and eco-friendly. We are uniquely situated to provide that option.”

The FluoroFree papers can also be manufactured using bleached or truly natural fibres, blended fibres, and post-consumer waste recycled options.

The company also noted that papers offer a range of basis weights, glueability and printability.

“Our plants have been manufacturing grease-resistant papers since the 1930s, well before the creation of fluorochemistry and PFAS.”
