  • However, such products cannot simultaneously ensure the barrier properties to water and to fat and/or oils with pearlescent or matt surface effect and virucidal and biocidal properties.
  • There is therefore a need to produce a paper material which can overcome the limits of the prior art.
  • The technical task of the present invention is, therefore, to make a paper material of different grammage which allows to obviate the lamented technical drawbacks of the prior art.
