In the movie Taking of Pelham 123, with Denzel Washington, our paper is used for the money (when the briefcase is opened above the bridge and the money floats down into the water).
Water Soluble paper & Dissolvable Products
Unique material that dissolves completely and rapidly in water. This extraordinary paper that vanishes in water, along with anything printed or written on it. Our water soluble paper looks, feels and tears like ordinary paper. You can write on it, photocopy onto it, coat, emboss and print on it. You can also laminate it, corrugate it, perforate it, and make it into envelopes, pads or computer paper.
The product is heat sealable, it can be made into bags, pouches or form-fill and seal roll stock.Soaps, colorants and dyes can be combined with our water soluble paper to create dry, pre-measured, single-use sheets ad packets. Labels made from our water soluble paper removes instantly without scratching or scraping, and without soggy paper or adhesive residue. Whatever paper does, ours does and more.
Our water soluble paper and tape is cellulose based (finely ground tree pulp). It is non-toxic and 100% dispersible in water in 30 seconds or less. Products made of this material will dissolve in any temperature of water, leaving no residue behind. Agitation (stirring, providing a forced flow of water) helps to break down the dissolvable fibers. These products are not FDA approved and cannot be eaten or ingested but can be used for many different applications such as packaging for any type of pre-measured granular substance such as bath salts, fertilizers, chemicals, laundry detergents, etc. Our tape product can be used for labeling products. Of course, you can also use our face stock for various applications that don’t require paper with adhesive, laminates, or coatings. You can write or print on all of our products using a home printer such as ink jet or laser printer, as well as commercial printers such as Digital press, Flexo, and dry Offset presses. We recommend water or soy based inks to keep with the solubility of the product, however some applications do not require this. These products will still dissolve without using water or soy based inks, but it will take the fibers longer to break down. Other technical information can be found in the MSDS and technical data sheets.
Our heat sealable material can be heat sealed together to make pouches or bags. We have combined our lightweight face stock product with a PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) coating. With this coating, the paper is able to heat seal itself together using any kind of form fill and seal machine. These packages can be used for any type of pre-measured granular substance. Once the packet comes in contact with water, the paper will dissolve, dispersing the inside contents. Current users make these pouches for the agriculture, bath and hygiene, laundry, and construction industries.
Different products are available in several grades and sizes to meet all of your requirements. We stock 60gsm lightweight paper, 126gsm heavyweight paper, and 60gsm heatsealable paper (with the adhesive for a total weight of 105 gsm). Simply select the size and grade best suited for your particular application.
Extra Packaging's water-soluble material is versatile, suitable for many industrial, structural and functional uses. Our paper is at work in a variety of industries, including graphic arts, printing, food service, auto assembly, government, breweries and textiles.
