EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol)
EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol)
EVOH is a high-barrier material primarily used in multilayer film structures to improve oxygen and moisture barrier properties. It is widely used in food packaging where shelflife extension is critical.
- Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties
- Extends the shelf life of perishable products
- Often used in multilayer films for high-barrier performance
• High-end food packaging (meats, cheeses)
• Pharmaceutical packaging
• Vacuum-sealed products
