IMPROVEMENT OF FLEXIBLE AND RIGID PACKAGING BARRIER MATERIAL FEATURES

Author: Xavier Bories-Azeau Company: DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers

Abstract:

The on-going efforts to offer more than a mere barrier solution have led to a number of developments and subsequent product commercialisations. This paper briefly reviews how non-barrier features of EVOH and PA materials can be improved by the use of ionomer and amorphous polyamide while maintaining good oxygen barrier properties.
