Building better barriers

Imagine a plastic wall that is 10 metres thick. Not very much is going to get through a barrier like that. Now imagine that the same protective function can be realised with only 1 mm. With EVAL™ EVOH it can. In fact, it normally takes just a few microns of this EVOH copolymer to create an amazingly effective gas and aroma barrier in any valuable material that needs a protective gas or aroma barrier around it. Like food or cosmetics or vitamins. Even the fuel in a car.

EVAL™'s barrier properties give more performance per thickness than any conventional polymer, and the barrier function works in both directions.
