EVOH for Packaging Market Set to Surge Significantly During 2018 - 2028

Introduction and Need of the Product:

EVOH, also termed as Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer, is a high oxygen barrier material which is widely used for the perishable food packaging applications. It is commonly used as a barrier film in the prevailing flexible and rigid packaging formats such as pouches, bags, etc. through the co-extrusion process, to protect food items from oxygen ingress. Widespread use of the EVOH barrier material shifted the trend from metalized and foil film laminations to co-extruded barrier films. EVOH can be easily co-extruded with almost all types of polyolefin, polyamides, and other materials through standard co-extrusion equipment. The material is hydrophilic in nature, that’s why it needs to be dried before co-extrusion processing. EVOH resins have very poor adhesion characteristics which create a need for functionalized adhesive resins i.e. tie resins. Tie resins are used to bond the other polymeric material to the EVOH material layer in the packaging structures. However, the EVOH material possesses high thermal stability when used in properly designed and efficient extrusion packaging systems under standard processing conditions. Most of the manufacturers in the flexible and rigid packaging market are preferring EVOH as a barrier resin over conventional PVDC resins, due to its environment-friendly and efficient characteristics. Unlike PVDC, EVOH does not contain any harmful elements such as chlorine, metals, dioxins, etc. which may cause endocrinological disorders. EVOH films offer 10,000 times more gas barrier than standard LDPE films. The primary function of the EVOH is to provide barrier to the food products and preserves its freshness for a longer period.

EVOH for Packaging Market: Market Dynamics

EVOH for packaging has gained strong market traction in the last few years and is expected to continue its dominance in the barrier films segment. It is widely used by most of the flexible and rigid packaging manufacturers to increase the barrier properties of their products and provide differentiated product offerings to their customers. The demand for PVDC barrier films is decreasing due to the evolution of the EVOH based films in the market. EVOH has excellent transparency and gloss characteristics which increases the aesthetic features of the products and eventually its demand. It is environment-friendly and a recyclable product which causes very little harm to the environment.
