Japan's Coolar launches new materials for high shading and gas-barrier packaging

Kuraray, a company specializing in the production of high-barrier plastic packaging materials in Japan, has recently successfully developed and introduced a new material that not only has a high barrier gas performance, but also has light shading and light-shielding properties, thereby preventing foods from being exposed to light in the inner package. Oxidation and discoloration, fading, and other quality changes caused by oxygen attack. This film material is a new generation of "Ebal" film packaging materials.

The company is the first company in the world to develop and manufacture "Ebal" high gas barrier film materials. The gas barrier property of "Ebal" is about 10,000 times that of commonly used polyethylene film materials. Its excellent packaging characteristics are highly evaluated by the market. . Due to the high transparency of Ebal's films, for those foods that need special light protection, especially for avoiding UV irradiation, such as using Ebal as a packaging material, they also need to be compounded with other light-shielding materials. With the newly developed film that is both light-shielding and gas-barrier and used as a food packaging material, it is no longer necessary to use aluminum foil composite materials such as PET and PP, and the new Ebal product can be directly selected. This solves the problem of avoiding the use of high hiding and gas barrier aluminum materials. Ebal's new material not only has a light-shielding property and high barrier property close to aluminum foil, but also eliminates the aluminum foil material. This new packaging material can be used for packaging of foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and beverages.
