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
