High-Performance Functional Barriers for Extended Shelf-Life Alcohol in Recyclable Sachets
The packaging of alcoholic beverages presents unique challenges compared to carbonated soft drinks or water. Ethanol is a small, highly mobile molecule that permeates through most polymers, while oxygen and UV ingress degrade flavor, color, and stability. Glass and metal have been the gold standards, but demand for lightweight, recyclable formats is driving research into […]
Emerging Minerals, Fillers and Additives Used in New Barrier Packaging
Barrier packaging has long relied on materials such as EVOH, PVDC, PET, and aluminum foils to maintain product stability and safety. However, regulatory pressure on halogenated polymers, recyclability challenges of multilayer films, and sustainability commitments by FMCG giants are driving the need for novel mineral and additive-based solutions. The current R&D frontier lies in nanostructured […]
