Toyochem Specialty Chemical Sdn. Bhd., a member of Japan’s artience Group, announced the achievement of HACCP and Codex Alimentarius Commission certification for its food packaging manufacturing processes.

This milestone, alongside the successful renewal of its GMP certification confirmed by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH in August 2026, validates the company’s compliance under Category I: Production of Packaging Material for its comprehensive portfolio of water-based coatings.

This dual certification significantly elevates Toyochem Specialty Chemical’s quality framework. While GMP certification validates operational hygiene, the new HACCP certification introduces a process-driven system to proactively eliminate hazards in food-contact packaging coatings.

Together, these certifications reinforce the company's food safety and quality assurance capabilities.

Certified sustainable barrier solutions

The company’s water-based coatings offer sustainable, functional alternatives to traditional PE lamination and extrusion. The following series are fully covered under these certifications:

•    FC Series: Delivers high oil and water resistance for lunch boxes, burger wraps, and paper cups, with select grades supporting heat-sealing.

•    VTR Series: Features a reliable water vapor barrier (WVTR) to preserve freshness in applications like paper pouches.

•    HSL Series: Acts as a food-compliant primer, enhancing lay-flat properties and minimizing leakage at creases and folds.
