What Are High Barrier Film Materials?
High barrier film materials are engineered multilayer packaging substrates designed to offer exceptional resistance to:
- Gas transmission
- Moisture penetration
- Aroma loss
- Light exposure
Using advanced materials like EVOH, PVDC, polyamides, aluminum coatings, and transparent oxide layers, these films significantly extend shelf life and maintain quality for sensitive products such as food, medicines, and electronics.
