Extrusion coating Extrusion coating adds value to paper and paperboard. The lack of water and/or gas resistance of fibre-based substrate such as paper or paperboard is improved by adding a coating layer on paper (Figure 1). This coating provides not only a water and gas (oxygen) barrier but also improves other properties such as sealing
