The plastic packaging and converting landscape in France is undergoing a profound structural evolution. Driven by stringent European Union regulations and the landmark French Loi AGEC (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy Law), manufacturers across the nation are compelled to transition toward high-performance, eco-designed, and easily recyclable flexible packaging materials. In this demanding scenario, co-extruded EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) cast films have emerged as the gold standard for preserving quality, extending shelf life, and minimizing material thickness.
French food processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and agricultural enterprises require reliable, ultra-thin barrier films that do not compromise on mechanical strength or optical clarity. As a result, French plastic converters are heavily investing in state-of-the-art EVOH Cast Film Lines. These advanced production systems enable the precise co-extrusion of 5, 7, 9, or even more symmetrical layers, sandwiching the premium EVOH barrier resin between protective layers of PE, PP, or PA.
By producing high-barrier films locally, French manufacturers reduce their dependence on imported finished films, optimize their supply chains, and can customize barrier properties in real-time to meet the specific requirements of French retailers and consumers who demand absolute freshness and minimal chemical preservatives.
The Loi AGEC mandates a 20% reduction in single-use plastic packaging. By utilizing advanced multi-layer EVOH cast film lines, manufacturers can drastically downgauge film thickness. A micro-layer of EVOH (typically 2 to 5 microns) provides the same oxygen barrier as much thicker conventional plastics, reducing overall polymer usage while remaining fully compatible with modern polyolefin recycling streams when designed appropriately.
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.
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. Our R&D team combines the technical advantages of Multi-parties and is committed to continuously improving the quality and performance of products in order to better serve customers and the market.
TPS Specialty Chemical Limited has a team of experienced professionals, including chemical engineers, R&D experts and marketing personnel.

From the cheese cellars of Normandy to the high-tech medical hubs in Lyon, EVOH cast films manufactured by our advanced machinery play a vital role in protecting and enhancing French products.
In France, the culinary heritage is protected with the same intensity as modern technology. The packaging of premium French cheeses (such as Camembert, Roquefort, and Comté) and delicate charcuterie requires highly customized atmospheric control. EVOH cast films provide an exceptional barrier against oxygen ingress and moisture loss, preventing lipid oxidation, mold growth, and aroma loss. This ensures that the delicate, complex flavor profiles of French gastronomy reach consumers worldwide in perfect condition.
Furthermore, in the pharmaceutical sector, France stands as one of Europe's leading producers. Blister packs and medical device pouches co-extruded with EVOH act as a shield against humidity and oxygen, securing the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complying with the strict safety guidelines set by the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM).

Large plant and production scale enable us to have efficient production capacity, achieve large-scale production, and reduce unit costs, offering highly competitive wholesale pricing for the French market.
TPS provides diversified products covering multiple fields, including chemicals, new materials, and specialized cast film equipment, to meet different market needs and technical specifications.
The R&D center is located in Chongqing, with convenient transportation, which is convenient for raw material procurement and product transportation, and improves logistics efficiency for global shipping.
The company focuses on sustainable development, actively adopts environmentally friendly materials and technologies, meets modern environmental standards (including European REACH and French local laws), and enhances market competitiveness.
We deliver full value-chain support, from raw EVOH resin supply to custom cast film machinery installation, commissioning, and localized technical training for French engineering teams.
Modern cast film extrusion is a highly complex thermomechanical process. To achieve a perfectly uniform EVOH layer, several critical parameters must be meticulously controlled by the PLC systems of the cast line. The feedblock and die design must ensure that the rheological differences between the EVOH resin and adjacent adhesive (tie) and carrier resins (like LLDPE or PP) are carefully balanced. If the viscosity mismatch is too great, flow instabilities can occur, leading to "wave" or "chevron" patterns that compromise both optical clarity and gas barrier performance.
Our wholesale EVOH cast film lines utilize state-of-the-art automatic dies with thermal bolts linked to online thickness measurement scanners. This closed-loop control system dynamically adjusts the die lip gap every few seconds, guaranteeing a thickness variation of less than ±2% across the entire width of the web. For French converters, this level of precision means less waste, faster startup times, and absolute reliability when supplying demanding clients in the food and medical sectors.
Furthermore, the cooling phase on the chill roll is critical. Rapid cooling is required to prevent crystallization in the outer PE or PP layers, which maintains maximum transparency and high gloss—attributes highly valued on French retail shelves where aesthetic appeal is paramount.
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.
Our R&D teams are currently focusing on the next generation of biopolymer-compatible barrier systems. By pairing EVOH with biodegradable or compostable polyesters (such as PLA or PBAT), we aim to provide French converters with fully compostable high-barrier packaging solutions that align perfectly with the strict environmental targets set for 2030. Partnering with TPS means securing a future-proof technology path for your business.
Whether you are looking to upgrade your existing extrusion lines, secure a reliable bulk supply of high-purity EVOH resin, or design a custom multi-layer cast film system for the French market, our engineering and material experts are ready to assist you.
