What is Barrier Resins Market?
Barrier resins are plastics used for packaging that prevent gas (oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen), vapour (water or solvent) or liquid penetration. Commercial polymers such as nylons, polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene are used for packaging, but their barrier properties are significantly inferior to those of the barrier resins. Vinylidene chloride copolymers (PVDC) are the earliest and most widely used high barrier resins.
The market study is being classified by Type (Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC), Ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH), Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and Others), by Application (Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical & Medical, Cosmetics, Agriculture, Industrial and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
