IonKraft is a spin-off from the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University in Germany and is funded by the EIC Accelerator program of the European Innovation Council. Our mission is to make all plastic packaging recyclable and free of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with the help of plasma coating technology. A high barrier effect against gases, solvents and other substances is necessary to guarantee sufficient product protection in many industries. Since common and inexpensive packaging plastics only provide a limited sealing effect, an additional barrier must be added. Widely used barrier technologies like multi-plastic structures or fluorination compromise sustainability over barrier function. We offer a game-changing barrier coating technology for plastic containers, that provides perfect product protection, while being fluorine-free and fully recyclable. Our company is deeply rooted in science and innovation is in our DNA. Our company purpose expresses what unites us all at IonKraft: Pioneers at heart striving to push a circular economy for plastics forward for future generations.
