Oxygen and aroma protection
Barrier performance is studied in relation to the packaged product, target shelf life and surrounding polymer layers.
EVOH Alternative
New routes to barrier functionality and simpler multilayer structures.
Food protection
Beverages
Sensitive products
Multilayer packaging
Material profile
Developed around the application.
Our barrier-material R&D investigates alternatives to conventional EVOH layers in multilayer packaging. The aim is to combine functional protection with process compatibility and opportunities to reduce or eliminate tie layers in selected structures.
Performance & development
What defines this material family.
Layer interfaces
Research examines adhesion and compatibility as routes to simplifying selected multilayer structures.
Industrial conversion
Extrusion, conversion and equipment compatibility are assessed before application performance is established.
Applications
Where the material can make a difference.
Food and beverage packaging
Developing barrier options for products whose quality depends on controlled oxygen or aroma transfer.
Sensitive formulations
Considering the needs of oils, aromas and other sensitive products together with contact and containment requirements.
Multilayer development
Working with converters to evaluate layer combinations, processing and the performance of the complete packaging structure.
