Middle East and Africa Middle East and Africa Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) Packaging Films Market Industry Analysis, Key Vendors, Opportunity and Forecast To 2029
Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer or EVOH is a flexible, crystal clear, and glossy thermoplastic copolymer with excellent flex-crack resistance, and very high resistance to hydrocarbons, oils and organic solvents. It also has some of the best barrier properties to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide making it especially suited for packaging of food, drugs, cosmetics, and other perishable or delicate products to extend shelf life. In comparison with many other common films, EVOH has superior barrier properties. However, EVOH loses its good gas barrier properties when exposed to moisture. For this reason and to optimize both cost and performance, it is frequently used in multilayer, co-extruded films like HDPE, PP, and PET, which have superior moisture barrier properties.
