Ixan® PVDC: High barrier packaging solution
Packaging systems are becoming more and more complex due to the demanding requirements of increasingly globalized supply chains. Therefore, manufacturers need innovative packaging solutions that guarantee their products stay fresh, safe and unaltered, even in difficult meteorological conditions such as tropical climates, until they are consumed.
Ixan® PVDC is a high barrier polymer with outstanding long-lasting water vapor and gas barrier properties making it the effective protection choice for advanced packaging and medical film solutions. Ixan® PVDC products are extrusion grades of PVDC barrier resins that prevent the transmission of water vapor, oxygen and the ingress of odors to maximize customer satisfaction, minimize risk and create excellent pack appearance.
Ixan® PVDC barrier film packaging solutions, suitable for both vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technologies are a reliable option for obtaining long shelf-life packaging to facilitate the whole supply chain process and reduce waste in fresh and processed meats, fresh and frozen fish, cheese, dry fruit and vegetables, medical packaging and many other applications.
