What is EVOH?
EVOH is a high-barrier plastic with outstanding oxygen barrier properties, especially suited to multilayer packaging.
Typical properties
| Density | ~1.12–1.20 g/cm³ |
| Tensile strength | ~50–90 MPa |
| Oxygen barrier | outstanding under dry conditions |
Typical applications
Food packagingFuel tanksBarrier layersFilmsBottlesCoextrusion structures
Industries
PackagingAutomotiveFoodPharmaCoextrusion
Processing
Coextrusion, blow moulding and film extrusion. EVOH usually needs tie layers (e.g. MaG polymers) for adhesion to PE or PP.
