EVOH, or Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol, is a copolymer composed of ethylene and vinyl alcohol units. Known for its exceptional barrier properties, EVOH is widely used in packaging materials, particularly for food and pharmaceutical applications, to protect against gases and moisture. Its ability to maintain aroma and flavor while extending shelf life makes it a valuable material in various industries. EVOH is also biodegradable, aligning with sustainable packaging trends.
