This longstanding relationship gives manufacturers access not only to proven EVOH technology, but also to practical support in evaluating materials for barrier packaging, industrial containers, and other specialty multilayer structures. With dependable North American supply and technical guidance, Gantrade helps customers move more efficiently from material review to real-world application.

Evasin™ EVOH for Food Packaging

Food packaging remains one of the most established applications for EVOH. Its exceptional oxygen barrier performance helps preserve freshness, supports longer shelf life, and reduces product waste.

Common food packaging applications include:

  • Cheese packaging
  • Coffee packaging
  • Meat packaging
  • Ready-to-eat food packaging

By minimizing oxygen permeation, EVOH helps maintain product quality while supporting more sustainable packaging solutions. 

For manufacturers focused on packaging performance, EVOH offers a practical way to enhance barrier properties while supporting the broader goals of efficiency, product protection, and material optimization.

Versatility Beyond Food Packaging

Although EVOH is often best known for its role in food preservation, its barrier properties also make it valuable in many demanding industrial and consumer applications. From agricultural films to industrial packaging, EVOH can help improve performance in structures that require strong resistance to gas or volatile compound permeation.

Agricultural Applications

Agri application

In agricultural markets, EVOH is used in applications such as:

  • Silage films
  • Fumigation barrier films

In these structures, EVOH helps improve containment performance and reduce gas permeation in agricultural environments.

Automotive Applications

EVOH also plays an important role in automotive applications. Common uses include:

  • Fuel tanks
  • Portable gas containers
  • Fuel & coolant transfer tubing

Its resistance to hydrocarbon permeation makes EVOH a trusted material in fuel system applications.

Construction Applications

Construction

In construction and infrastructure systems, EVOH can contribute to long-term durability and permeation resistance in applications such as:

  • Geomembranes
  • Radiant floor heating pipes
  • Underground fuel and water pipes

Cosmetics and Personal Care Packaging

cosmetic applications

EVOH can be used in cosmetic and personal care packaging such as:

  • Cream & lotion tubes
  • Toothpaste packaging

Barrier protection is also important in personal care and cosmetic packaging, where formulation stability and product integrity can be affected by exposure to oxygen or other environmental conditions.

Industrial Packaging

Industrial applications

EVOH can be used in industrial packaging such as:
    • Solvent containers
    • Cleaning product packaging

In industrial packaging, EVOH supports safer storage and reduced permeation of volatile compounds. 

Medical & Pharmaceutical Packaging

Medical applications

EVOH's reliable barrier performance helps protect sensitive medical and pharmaceutical products such as: 
    • Blister packaging
    • Medical device packaging
