EVAL EVOH – one millimeter thick, a functional barrier equivalent to a LDPE wall that is 10 meters thick
EVAL™ EVOH is a trademark product of Kuraray.
Food packaging, fuel tanks, chemicals: numerous applications need a sufficient gas barrier to keep gases in or out. Kuraray offers durable, high-performance EVAL™ ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH) for such applications.
Lasting protection for food and healthcare products
EVAL EVOH from Kuraray helps the food and healthcare industries develop packaging that preserves the quality of products over long periods. Recyclable multilayer structures containing EVOH can comply with the highest hygiene regulations and standards and regulations for food contact applications.
EVAL EVOH gives packaging just one millimeter thick equivalent to a plastic wall that is 10kmm thick – for lightweight packaging that is resource-efficient and reduces waste.
Safe fuel tanks, energy-efficient building materials
The automotive industry uses EVAL EVOH resins to manufacture extremely lightweight plastic tanks that can meet the most demanding emission standards. EVOH ensures that containers for storing and transporting chemicals have high barrier properties.
In addition, EVAL EVOH increases the life cycle and energy efficiency of under-floor heating pipes and building materials.
The outstanding barrier properties of EVAL™ EVOH make it the product of choice to preserve freshness and quality, protect the environment, and help meet top efficiency requirements in the industry and the automotive sector.
