Coatings and laminates can be materials of different types depending on the purpose and application technology used. These can be:
* oils or oily liquid coatings
* oils or oily liquid coatings, such as renewable polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) which are based on vegetable oils (e.g., soybean, castor, and linseed)
* paints, lacquers with solvents
* paints, lacquers with solvents
* polymeric materials
* polymeric materials, which includes Bio-PE, PLE, and starch blends

Products of coating and lamination processes are surfaces covered with a material. The following compounds can be used for coating or lamination purposes:
Products of coating and lamination processes are surfaces covered with a material, such as paper, plastic and wood.
 
* bio-based  low-density polyethylene (LDPE) coating
* Bio-PE
*PLE
*Starch blends
 
 
A careful selection of the appropriate material is always necessary. An overview of suitable materials for different property requirements is given below:
