Water soluble polymers
Materials for water-soluble packaging
At NUREL, we believe that innovation in materials drives real change in packaging sustainability. ENOXITE® WATER is our advanced line of water soluble packaging polymers, developed to offer high-performance for a wide range of applications.
Based on cutting-edge water soluble polymer technology, this product range enables the design of cold water soluble film solutions that dissolve completely without leaving residues, making it ideal for single-dose pods, laundry bags, coated paper, and cleaning concentrates.
As part of our commitment to circularity, NUREL water soluble polymers help simplify recycling processes, reduce plastic waste, and prevent contamination in both industrial and domestic environments. With ENOXITE® WATER, we go beyond replacing materials.
Available ENOXITE® WATER grades include W10, W40 and W50.
ENOXITE WATER® E20: TECHNICAL FEATURES
WATER SOLUBILITY
ENOXITE® WATER guarantees complete water solubility and dissolution at room temperature, leaving no residue. This feature is key for low temperature water-soluble polymers, facilitating their use in various applications.
ROOM TEMPERATURE DISSOLUTION
Completely dissolves in water at room temperature, eliminating the need for additional heat processes.
ROOM TEMPERATURE DISSOLUTION
Thanks to its room-temperature solubility, it enhances the recyclability of paper coatings and streamlines recycling processes, enabling effective material recovery in paper-based applications.
SUITABLE FOR PAPER COATING
ENOXITE® WATER is ideal for the coating of paper. Used as a coating on paper packaging, it dissolves in water prior to the recycling process, preventing paper contamination and facilitating efficient material recovery.
SAFE HANDLING
The water-soluble nature of ENOXITE® WATER enables safe and hygienic handling, making it ideal for applications that require minimal contact with contaminated materials—such as soluble laundry bags used in hospitals and hotels.
ENOXITE WATER® W10 - MAIN APPLICATIONS
We offer specific grades to meet the needs of your industry, from soluble material for paper coating to soluble material for 3D printing.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE PAPER COATING
ENOXITE® W10 grade is our water soluble paper coating material solution, specifically designed for paper based packaging. Its main advantage is that it dissolves in water prior to the recycling process, preventing paper contamination and facilitating more efficient and pure material recovery.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE LAUNDRY BAGS
ENOXITE W10 is the material of choice for hospital laundry bags. It dissolves during standard washing cycles eliminating the need for garment handling and ensuring safe and hygienic laundering.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE 3D PRINTING SUPPORT
Cold water-soluble polymers of ENOXITE W10 are used as support material in 3D printing, enabling the creation of complex geometries and overhangs with easy removal.
ENOXITE WATER® W40 - MAIN APPLICATIONS
The ENOXITE W40 polymer is the ideal solution for applications that require materials for controlled dissolution in standard washing cycles.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY PODS
Specifically designed for single-dose applications such as detergents, the ENOXITE W40 grade fully dissolves upon contact with water, making it suitable for standard domestic washing cycles.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE SEED AND PHYTOSANITARY COATINGS
ENOXITE W40 is suitable for producing coatings for seeds and fertilizers, as well as their phytosanitary containers, which dissolve upon contact with moisture to release their contents.
ENOXITE WATER® W50 - MAIN APPLICATIONS
The ENOXITE W50 grade stands out for its rapid dissolution in cold water, making it perfect for applications requiring precision and ease of use.
MATERIAL FOR WATER-SOLUBLE PACKAGING FOR CLEANING CONCENTRATES
ENOXITE W50 is the ideal solution for concentrated cleaning systems thanks to its ability to dissolve quickly in cold water. This enables safe, precise dosing and helps cut transport emissions, save water, and reduce plastic waste through refillable bottles.
DO YOU ALSO NEED WATER-SOLUBLE MATERIALS WITH BARRIER PROPERTIES?
For those applications that require not only solubility but also high-performance oxygen barrier properties, we introduce ENOXITE® E20.
This advanced grade, part of our ENOXITE® BARRIER family, is a sustainable and efficient alternative to EVOH.
The key advantage of E20 is that it combines its excellent barrier properties with solubility in water at room temperature.
It is an ideal solution for dry food packaging and for cosmetic or agrochemical containers.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ENOXITE® WATER is a water-soluble polymer technology used to create packaging and other products that completely dissolve in room temperature water, leaving no residues behind. Its main applications include paper coating to enhance recyclability, hygienic laundry bags, and single-dose detergent pods.
ENOXITE® E20 belongs to the BARRIER range and functions as an advanced oxygen barrier for packaging, serving as an alternative to EVOH. Its distinguishing feature is that it is also soluble in water at room temperature, which facilitates the recycling of multilayer packaging.
Yes, the ENOXITE WATER range enhances recyclability of paper coated packaging by preventing paper contamination during washing processes. Meanwhile, the ENOXITE E20 grade (from the ENOXITE BARRIER’s family) not only improves the recyclability of multilayer films by dissolving but also helps to reduce food waste by extending the shelf life of food products thanks to its barrier properties.
