    6 Layers: Continuous Coextrusion With 6 Layers

    Uploaded by

    Wiki Setiana
    The document describes a 6-layer continuous coextrusion process. The layers include HDPE, adhesive, a security layer, EVOH, adhesive, and an outer layer. EVOH is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol that provides resistance to oils, fats, gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, and aromas. It significantly improves the barrier properties of containers, reducing gas, solvent, and moisture transmission and increasing the shelf life of foods, chemicals, and other products by 15,000% or more when used in intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
