TPS Company's commitment to innovation in EVOH resin technology has resulted in significant advancements in sustainable rigid container solutions. Their research and development team has successfully created new EVOH grades that offer enhanced processability at lower temperatures, improved layer adhesion in co-extrusion processes, and reduced material thickness requirements without compromising barrier performance. These improvements directly contribute to more efficient manufacturing processes and reduced environmental impact.
The sustainability aspects of TPS EVOH rigid containers are demonstrated through multiple features. Material efficiency is achieved through optimized layer thickness distribution and reduced scrap rates during processing. Energy conservation is realized through lower processing temperatures and reduced cycle times in injection molding. The improved durability and barrier properties of the containers lead to extended product life and reduced food waste, which are crucial factors in sustainable packaging solutions.
Recent developments in TPS's EVOH formulation have incorporated advanced nucleating agents and processing aids that enhance both performance and sustainability. These additions result in faster crystallization rates, more uniform material distribution, and improved clarity in the final product. The company has also developed specialized EVOH grades for specific applications such as hot-fill containers, retort-processed foods, and frozen food storage, each optimized for its intended use while maintaining environmental consciousness.
