Engineered for superior gas barrier protection, shelf-life extension, and reliable performance across industrial sectors.
Istanbul, standing as the historic and commercial bridge between Europe and Asia, has evolved into a powerhouse for the global packaging and plastics manufacturing industries. The Marmara region, centered around Istanbul, hosts Turkey's most dense concentration of plastic processing, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical packaging facilities. As global supply chains demand longer shelf life, enhanced food safety, and sustainable packaging solutions, the local market's reliance on advanced Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) co-extruded barrier films has grown exponentially.
For packaging manufacturers in industrial zones such as İkitelli, Tuzla, and Hadımköy, EVOH barrier films represent the gold standard for blocking oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide transmission. This is particularly crucial for Turkey's massive food export sector. From traditional Turkish delights, dried fruits, and nuts to fresh dairy products and processed meats, maintaining freshness and flavor profile during transit to European, Middle Eastern, and North American markets is a major commercial priority. As a dedicated wholesale EVOH barrier films factory and manufacturer, we supply high-quality raw materials and resins tailored to meet these strict international food contact standards.
Moreover, the Turkish packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the European Union Green Deal and domestic sustainability regulations. Manufacturers are actively shifting from traditional thick multi-material laminates to recyclability-optimized co-extruded structures. This transition requires high-purity EVOH resins that allow for thinner barrier layers (downgauging) without compromising protection. Our specialized EVOH grades, including biodegradable and UV-resistant options, provide Istanbul-based manufacturers with the competitive edge needed to satisfy both performance demands and environmental mandates.

High-barrier solutions tailored for critical sectors in the Marmara region and international markets.
The global high-barrier packaging market is witnessing rapid technological advancements, and Turkey is at the forefront of adopting these trends. One of the most significant shifts is the move from traditional PVDC and metallized films to EVOH co-extruded structures. While PVDC offers excellent barrier properties, its thermal instability and chlorine content present environmental challenges during recycling and incineration. EVOH, composed of ethylene and vinyl alcohol, is chlorine-free and breaks down into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, making it a much more eco-friendly high-barrier choice for modern consumer brands.
In the Istanbul industrial hub, packaging converters are increasingly integrating EVOH into multi-layer structures (typically 5, 7, or 9 layers) using co-extrusion blow molding or cast film processes. By combining EVOH with PE, PP, or PA layers, manufacturers can create films that provide exceptional gas barrier properties while maintaining excellent mechanical strength, clarity, and sealability. This is crucial for applications such as skin packaging for seafood, thermoformed trays for ready-to-eat meals, and high-barrier squeeze tubes for cosmetics.
Furthermore, the demand for smart packaging and active barrier systems is growing. Turkish exporters shipping to remote markets in the Americas or Asia-Pacific require films that not only block external oxygen but also manage moisture levels inside the pack. TPS Specialty Chemical is addressing these needs by developing specialized EVOH grades with improved thermoformability, moisture resistance, and compatibility with biodegradable carrier resins. This ensures that our Turkish partners can meet the strict quality standards of global supermarkets and regulatory bodies.
