WHO WE ARE
Ulterion® is a line of highly sustainable, functional and barrier coatings from Jain Chem, Ltd., a specialty chemical technology company. Our focus is on the development and sale of innovative, value-added functional polymer products that help businesses stay compliant, be more profitable and respect the planet.
We endeavor to make our customers’ lives easier by offering sustainable products that will take them into the future. Paper and paperboard products that are fully repulpable, recyclable and that don’t diminish compostability are examples of that.
Ulterion products excel in number of end-user applications such as paper cups, paper straws, water-repellent board for frozen and chilled foods, grease and moisture resistant coatings for take-out packaging, baking release—and we also create products that serve the textile industry in the production of denim as well as other garments and textile products.
Ulterion is known as much for what we our products don’t contain as what they contain. We utilize as much as 95% recycled and renewable raw materials in our coatings, materials such as up cycled food-grade, waste PET which helps eliminate new petro-based plastic production. And also helps eliminate millions of pounds of plastic waste from the landfill.
In the paper market, our coatings replace fluorochemicals, polyethylene, wax, styrene acrylic and all other chemicals of environmental and health concern. All Ulterion coatings are FDA approved, BFR listed, and Proposition 65 compliant for all food contact applications.
Best of all is the one thing all Ulterion products contain—the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art technology. That’s what separates us, and that’s what will make your job easier.
