In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out to find out the possible substitution of PE-coated paperboards used in packaging of watery or oily foods. Accordingly, this study was carried out to obtain the basic data for producing higher functional coating agents for pulp mold by evaluating various kinds of synthetic and natural coating agents on the market. Physical properties of coated paperboards were tested. Conclusions obtained from this study were as follows. AKD and PVA showed higher functions than the other synthetic coating agents, while functions of CMC, Com starch and Oxidized starch were higher than those of other natural coating agents. Based on concentrations, AKD 0.5%, PVA 10%, CMC 1.5%, corn starch 6% and oxidized starch 8% were appeared as the proper concentrations. W3 consider that AKD may be suitable for the storage of higher moisture vegetables and other food, and PVA may be suitable for higher oily fried food.
