Water-based coated paper placemats are premium paper liners designed for the food service industry, treated with a specialized water-based barrier coating that delivers exceptional grease and moisture resistance without relying on PFAS chemicals. Unlike traditional PE-coated or fluorochemical-treated placemats, our water-based coated paper placemats provide a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative that combines practical performance with environmental responsibility.

Privided by Bofeng New Materials, a leading water-based barrier coating paper supplier with over 10 years of experience, these placemats are produced using non-toxic, water-borne coating technology that creates a durable protective layer on the paper surface. The result is a high-performance placemat that maintains its integrity during use while remaining fully recyclable in standard paper recycling streams.

Key Features

  1. PFAS-Free & Eco-Friendly: Our water-based coating uses water as the primary solvent, resulting in extremely low VOC emissions. The finished product contains no PFAS, making it safe for direct food contact and compliant with increasingly stringent global regulations on forever chemicals.
  2. Superior Grease & Water Resistance: The barrier coating delivers exceptional resistance against oil and moisture penetration, effectively blocking food grease and liquid from soaking through the paper. This keeps plates clean and prevents tabletop contamination — tested up to Kit 6–12 oil resistance rating.
  3. Heat & Wear Resistance: The coating withstands high temperatures from hot foods without deformation or melting, making it suitable for a wide range of hot-serve applications. The protective layer also enhances tear and abrasion resistance, extending the useful life of each placemat.
  4. Excellent Printability: The water-based coating provides an ideal surface for high-quality printing, delivering vibrant colors that won't smudge or peel. This makes our placemats an effective marketing medium — customize with your brand LOGO, promotional messaging, or seasonal designs.

Applications

  • Food Service & Hospitality: Widely used in fast-food chains, casual dining restaurants, cafés, and hotels as hygienic plate liners that enhance the dining experience while protecting tableware.
  • Events & Catering: Ideal for banquets, parties, corporate events, and trade shows. Custom-printed placemats can showcase sponsor branding or event themes.
  • Takeaway & Delivery Packaging: In to-go packaging, these placemats serve as a protective barrier between hot food and containers, preventing grease leaks and ensuring food arrives in pristine condition.
