Plastic makes sense. But what if there was a better option?

What we do
At StenCo, we create packaging materials that are better for the environment - but first - they have to work for you - the supplier.
We focus on affordable materials that protect your product, fit into your supply chain, and are environmentally sustainable.
Meet StenCoat -
StenCoat is an oxygen-excluding, biodegradable film that can be applied to existing substrates. What’s even better? It is a fraction of the competitors’ cost. Now that makes sense.
-
StenCoat has no animal-basis = vegan, kosher, and halal-compatible
-
Water-based, affordable formula
-
The use of commoditized raw materials keeps cost low
Company's story
Our Specialty
StenCoat
StenCoat is an oxygen-excluding, biodegradable film made of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) applied to existing substrates (like paper).
For packaging, oxygen exclusion is the #1 goal.
Spoilage is caused by: (1) oxidative reactions and (2) aerobic microorganisms in the product.
If oxygen is kept away from your product, neither of these can happen!
Scientists refer to a material’s ability to block oxygen as its OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate). An OTR is a measurement of how much oxygen an object allows to pass through it in 24 hours
OTR is measured in cubic centimeters per meters squared per day.
A lower OTR indicates a material is better able to protect a product, but also normally means the object will take much longer to break down in nature (up to 10,000 years).

Our story
Our team believes research is most valuable when it has real-life applications. With years of experience in pharmaceuticals, polymers, and environmental chemistry, we finally decided it was time to bring StenCoat to the market.
