What are the applications of EVOH high-barrier films?

2025-10-30 0 Leave me a message

EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) high-barrier films have wide applications in many fields due to their excellent barrier properties. The following are their main applications:


Food Packaging:

EVOH films effectively block oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, and are widely used in the packaging of meat products (such as ham and sausages), dairy products (such as cheese and butter), aquatic products (such as frozen fish), powdered foods (such as coffee and milk powder), and processed agricultural products (such as sauces and juices), significantly extending shelf life and maintaining flavor. Their oil resistance, moisture resistance, and resistance to high and low temperatures also make them suitable for high-temperature cooking and low-temperature freezing applications.


Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Packaging:

In pharmaceutical packaging, EVOH is used in applications requiring high hygroscopicity and gas sensitivity, and can replace some aluminum-plastic packaging, balancing safety and environmental friendliness. In cosmetic packaging, its barrier properties delay oxidation and stabilize highly active ingredient formulations.


Industrial and Chemical Containers:

EVOH is used in the packaging of chemicals (such as pesticides and solvents) to prevent the volatilization of harmful substances and environmental pollution, and is especially suitable for containers of hazardous chemicals such as xylene and benzene. It also has applications in the protection of electronic components and precision instruments.


Automotive Parts:

EVOH is blended with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to manufacture automotive fuel tanks, blocking the volatilization of oil and gas and improving environmental performance.


Other Fields:

Construction: Used in underfloor heating pipes to prevent oxygen infiltration and extend system life.

New Energy: Gradually being explored for applications in emerging fields such as hydrogen storage tanks.
