AI Overview
EVOH barrier formable film is a high-performance, co-extruded, multi-layer material designed for thermoforming applications, offering superior protection against oxygen, aroma, and moisture. Commonly paired with PE or Nylon, it is used for deep-draw, vacuum, and MAP packaging to extend shelf life for meats, cheeses, and medical products.
This video explains the key features and applications of different types of EVOH films:
Key Characteristics and Benefits
- Superior Barrier: Provides up to 10,000 times better oxygen permeability resistance than standard PE films.
- Thermoformable: Specifically designed to maintain integrity during deep-draw, vacuum forming, and pouch making.
- Material Structure: Usually a multi-layer (often 7, 9, or more layers) structure that combines EVOH (barrier) with Nylon (strength/formability) and PE (sealing).
- Optical Clarity & Strength: Offers high gloss and transparency for retail appeal, combined with high mechanical strength.
- Applications: Ideal for meat, poultry, fish, cheese, dairy, and medical device packaging.
Common Material Components
- Cast Nylon/EVOH/PE: Excellent for deep-draw forming, providing high-barrier and puncture resistance.
- APET Tray High Barrier Sheet: Used for rigid, high-barrier trays.
- PA/EVOH/PE: A common, flexible combination.
Common Applications and Uses
- Vacuum Packaging: Fresh and processed meat, fish, and cheese.
- MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging): Extending freshness of bakery and produce.
- Specialty Food and Industrial Packaging: Applications requiring superior gas barriers.
Pregis is among the suppliers expanding production for high-performance sustainable barrier films, featuring advancements like ABX 9 Mil Film.
