Barrier additives for plastic containers

vaLOR® barrier resins offer a way to improve the gas permeability of PET, which is already affordable, lightweight, recyclable and can be used to contain almost any food or beverage. These resins provide superior gas barrier and oxygen scavenging performance, along with improved process-ability, delamination resistance and compatibility with PET.
