Explore our top-tier EVOH resins designed to meet the rigorous packaging standards of Malaysian food and industrial sectors.
Malaysia has emerged as a premier manufacturing and export hub in Southeast Asia, driven by rapid industrialization, a thriving agricultural sector, and its status as a global leader in the Halal food industry. As local and international supply chains expand, the demands placed on packaging materials have escalated dramatically. Traditional mono-layer plastics no longer suffice to protect perishable goods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals across long transit routes and high-humidity tropical climates. This is where high-barrier materials like EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol copolymer) plastic films become indispensable.
EVOH plastic films are widely recognized for their unmatched gas barrier properties, specifically against oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and organic solvents. In Malaysia's warm and humid climate, maintaining the structural integrity and freshness of products is a major challenge for manufacturers in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, and Penang. The premium barrier properties of EVOH help prevent oxidation, extend shelf life, preserve aromas, and maintain nutritional value without the excessive use of artificial preservatives. This directly aligns with Malaysia's green initiatives and the consumer shift toward healthier, clean-label products.
Furthermore, Malaysia's strategic location along major global shipping lanes makes it a primary logistics corridor. Goods packaged here are regularly shipped to Europe, North America, the Middle East, and East Asia. To survive these long journeys, packaging must offer robust protection. By partnering with a premier global supplier like TPS Specialty Chemical Limited, Malaysian converters and packaging manufacturers gain access to highly stable EVOH resins and barrier films that meet strict international regulatory standards, ensuring compliance at every destination port.
From the agricultural heartlands to high-tech manufacturing parks, EVOH is driving innovations across multiple sectors in Malaysia.
Malaysia's Halal food market is expanding rapidly. EVOH films are integrated into multi-layer MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) and thermoformed trays to preserve Ready-To-Eat (RTE) meals, fresh meats, and poultry without compromising Halal integrity.
Malaysia is famous for exporting premium tropical fruits like Musang King Durian, pineapples, and mangosteens. EVOH co-extruded films prevent volatile aroma leakage and slow down fruit respiration, ensuring the fruit arrives fresh and odor-contained.
With Malaysia serving as a major hub for medical device manufacturing and pharmaceutical distribution, EVOH acts as a critical barrier layer in blister packs and medical pouches, protecting sensitive compounds from moisture and oxygen degradation.
One of the unique technical challenges of using EVOH in Southeast Asia is its sensitivity to moisture. EVOH's gas barrier properties can decrease under high relative humidity (RH) conditions. To counter this, TPS EVOH resins are engineered to be co-extruded as a core layer sandwiched between protective polyolefin layers (like PE or PP). This multi-layer structure shields the EVOH layer from Malaysia's ambient humidity (often exceeding 80%), allowing it to deliver its world-class oxygen barrier performance consistently throughout the product's shelf life.
A legacy of chemical innovation, bridging global technology with local industrial needs.
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.
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, delivering reliable and efficient solutions for diverse industrial applications. With decades of experience in the polymer and materials industry, TPS has developed strong partnerships with leading chemical manufacturers across China and international markets.

We always attach importance to the growth and training of employees, and strive to encourage teamwork and innovation in a positive working environment so that every employee can fully realize their potential.
As Malaysia moves aggressively toward its circular economy goals, the packaging industry is under intense pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Traditional multi-layer packaging that combines aluminum foil with plastics is notoriously difficult to recycle. EVOH films offer a compelling alternative. When used in low weight percentages (typically less than 5% of the total packaging weight), EVOH-containing polyolefin structures can be recycled within standard plastic recycling streams (specifically PP or PE recycling programs).
This eco-friendly advantage has led to a major transition in the Malaysian consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. Brands are substituting metalized films and foil laminates with transparent, high-barrier EVOH co-extruded films. Not only does this reduce the carbon footprint, but it also allows consumers to see the product inside, boosting purchasing confidence. Furthermore, the light weight of EVOH films compared to glass or metal packaging reduces shipping weights, thereby lowering transport emissions and logistics costs across East and West Malaysia.
EVOH copolymer properties are determined by the ethylene content (mol%). Lower ethylene content (e.g., 29 mol% or 32 mol%) provides superior gas barrier properties but is more rigid and sensitive to moisture. Higher ethylene content (e.g., 44 mol%) offers better flexibility and ease of processing, with slightly lower but still exceptional barrier performance. For the hot and humid climate of Malaysia, selecting the correct grade is critical. TPS offers a comprehensive range of EVOH resins, including 3201-PF, 3201-CP, and 4401-IP, allowing local manufacturers to balance barrier requirements with moisture resistance and processing efficiency.
