In the modern packaging landscape, the demand for Raw Materials Plastic EVOH for Flexible Films has surged, driven by the need for extended shelf life and superior protection. Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) stands as a pinnacle of polymer engineering, offering unparalleled gas barrier properties that protect sensitive contents from oxygen, moisture, and aroma loss.
EVOH is a formal copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol. Because the latter group is highly polar, EVOH is exceptionally resistant to gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. In the context of flexible films, EVOH is typically used as a thin functional layer in multi-layer structures (co-extrusion), providing the "shield" that allows food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals to remain stable for months or even years.
Since its establishment in 1950, TPS Specialty Chemical Limited has always focused on innovation and development in the chemical industry. Headquartered in Argentina, after more than 70 years of development, TPS has grown into one of the leading companies in the global chemical industry. We have branches around the world, especially in Hong Kong, which has laid the foundation for our rapid growth in the Global market. As a company with an international vision, TPS actively seeks in-depth cooperation with well-known local chemical companies in many countries and regions to jointly develop a series of innovative products with market competitiveness.
Get productThe global EVOH market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% through 2030. The primary driver is the shift from rigid packaging (glass/metal) to flexible packaging, which reduces transportation costs and carbon footprints. As a leading supplier, TPS is at the forefront of this transition, providing raw materials that enable thinner but stronger films.
Current trends emphasize "Recyclable Barrier Films." Historically, multi-layer films were difficult to recycle. However, TPS is developing EVOH resins with improved compatibility, allowing them to be processed in polyolefin recycling streams without compromising the quality of the recycled resin.
Modern co-extrusion technology now allows for 7, 9, or even 11-layer films. EVOH remains the core functional layer, often sandwiched between PE, PP, or PA layers. TPS's R&D center in Chongqing focuses on optimizing the tie-layer adhesion to ensure these complex structures don't delaminate under stress.
Beyond food, EVOH is critical in the automotive industry for plastic fuel tanks (preventing hydrocarbon emissions) and in underfloor heating pipes (preventing oxygen ingress that causes corrosion in metal components).

In the Chinese mainland, TPS has set up the R&D center in Chongqing City to focus on the research and development of high-tech materials and successfully launched high-barrier material EVOH resin. This product is widely used in food packaging, medicine and cosmetics with its excellent gas barrier properties and chemical stability, meeting the market's growing demand for high-performance materials.

TPS Specialty Chemical Limited has a team of experienced professionals, including chemical engineers, R&D experts and marketing personnel. With their deep industry knowledge and rich practical experience, they provide strong support for the company's continuous innovation and development. We always attach importance to the growth and training of employees.
Medical devices and pharmaceuticals require absolute sterility. TPS EVOH 3201-MA is engineered to withstand sterilization processes (like Gamma or ETO) while ensuring that no moisture or oxygen degrades the sensitive medical components inside. This is vital for long-term storage of surgical tools and diagnostic kits.
For fresh meat and produce, maintaining a specific gas mixture inside the bag is essential to slow down spoilage. EVOH flexible films act as a selective gatekeeper, keeping the protective gases in and the degenerative oxygen out, extending shelf life from days to weeks.
Pesticides and herbicides often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Standard plastic bottles or bags can "breathe," letting these chemicals escape. TPS EVOH barrier materials for agriculture ensure that these potent chemicals stay contained, protecting the environment and ensuring the product's efficacy.
Microchips and circuit boards are sensitive to moisture and static. TPS EVOH 4401-EP provides a moisture-proof barrier that, when combined with anti-static layers, creates the ultimate protective environment for high-value electronic components during global shipping.
The company has independent research and development capabilities and multiple patents, advanced production processes and technological innovation capabilities.
Large plant and production scale enable it to have efficient production capacity, can achieve large-scale production, and reduce unit costs.
TPS provides diversified products covering multiple fields, including chemicals, new materials, etc., to meet different market needs.
The company focuses on sustainable development, actively adopts environmentally friendly materials and technologies, meets modern environmental standards.
Founded in 1950, TPS Specialty Chemicals Co., Ltd. is a global supplier of specialty chemicals and polymer materials, providing a comprehensive product portfolio and full-service solutions to customers worldwide. Guided by the philosophy of “complete product categories, integrated services, and deep value-chain expertise,” TPS focuses on EVOH resin, CPP and PVDC raw materials, specialty equipment, and high-performance plastic additives.


As we look toward 2025 and beyond, the role of Raw Materials Plastic EVOH for Flexible Films is evolving. One major trend is the development of Bio-based EVOH, where ethylene is derived from renewable resources like sugarcane rather than petroleum. This significantly lowers the carbon footprint of the final packaging material.
Another breakthrough is in Nano-dispersion technology. By incorporating nano-clays into the EVOH matrix, manufacturers can achieve even higher barrier properties with thinner layers, leading to "Ultra-Thin High Barrier Films." This reduction in material usage aligns perfectly with global plastic reduction initiatives.
TPS Specialty Chemical Limited is actively investing in these technologies at our Chongqing R&D center. We are not just supplying raw materials; we are providing the building blocks for the next generation of sustainable, high-performance packaging. Our commitment to "innovation-driven, win-win cooperation" ensures that our partners stay ahead of regulatory changes and consumer demands.
"The future of packaging is invisible barrier protection that leaves no trace on the environment."
Looking to the future, TPS Specialty Chemical Limited will continue to expand its global business and actively respond to market challenges with the purpose of "innovation-driven, win-win cooperation". We believe that through close cooperation with partners, TPS will play a more important role in the global chemical industry and create greater value for customers and society.
