Description
Abbreviation: EVOH
Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) is a high-performance thermoplastic copolymer known for its exceptional barrier properties against gases and aromas. It is formed through the copolymerization of ethylene and vinyl alcohol monomers, which is a hydrophilic molecule derived from ethylene. EVOH is primarily used as a barrier material in food packaging and industrial applications where gas and liquid permeation prevention is critical.
The exceptional gas barrier properties of Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) make it an essential material in modern food packaging, ensuring the preservation and quality of various products. Its versatility and ability to form a barrier against gases and liquids while maintaining transparency have led to its use in a range of other applications as well.
