The Protective Layer
Our Barrier Films
Whether it’s about extending shelf life, protecting against external factors, or preserving the freshness of the contents inside the packaging, our PE and PP based barrier solutions create reliable barrier against oxygen (OTR), other gases and water vapor (WVTR). In this way, they preserve the aroma inside the packaging and offer reliable protection both in the classic combination with EVOH and/or PA, as well as in the sustainable single-material solution of PE or PP with EVOH.
