Lasting protection for food and pharmaceutical products
EVAL™ EVOH from Kuraray helps the food and pharmaceutical industries develop packaging that preserves the quality of products over long periods. Recyclable multilayer structures containing EVOH can comply with the highest pharmaceutical regulations as well as standards and regulations for food contact applications. 1mm thick EVAL™ EVOH gives packaging a functional barrier equivalent to a plastic wall that is 10 meters thick – for lightweight packaging that is resource-efficient and reduces waste.
Energy-efficient building materials, Agricultural applications, Safe fuel tanks
EVOH ensures that containers for the storage and transportation of chemicals have high barrier properties. In addition, EVAL™ EVOH increases the life cycle and energy efficiency of under-floor heating pipes and building materials. The automotive industry uses EVAL™ EVOH resins to manufacture extremely lightweight plastic tanks that can meet the most demanding emission standards.
The outstanding barrier properties of EVAL™ EVOH make it the product of choice to preserve freshness and quality, protect the environment and help meet top efficiency requirements in industry, agricultural and the automotive sector.
