DIOFAN® and IXAN® - IT’S ALL ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR PRODUCT

You put a lot of time and efforts in the developing and making of various products that you sell exactly what the buyer wants. Whether your product is dry or moist, solid or liquid, flavored or unflavored, scented or unscented – you want it to be “as just packaged” when the consumer receives it.

PVDC enhances and upgrades packaging materials by giving them barrier properties which prevent the transmission of water vapor or oxygen, for example, or the ingress of odors. PVDC provides strong seals to make hermetic packages, and it improves the appearance of packaging through its transparency, gloss, print-adhesion and scratch resistance.

The majority of PVDC is used in food packaging and it is particularly effective for products with a high fat content and strong flavors and aromas. For this reason it is often used for food such as confectionery, dehydrated foods, dairy products, sausages, pates, large cuts of meat, smoked fish and dried products such as herbs, spices, tea and coffee.

PVDC's outstanding barrier properties also make it suitable for use in medical applications where high levels of impermeability are demanded. For example PVDC is the mostly used barrier material for push through blister packs for pills and in the manufacture of colostomy bags.

In addition to these main markets, PVDC is also prevalent in a number of other areas such as in the form of mono filaments for boot insoles, in flame-retardant curtains, in water-based anti-corrosive paints, and as coatings for cork and on the back of carpets.

Check out the overall barrier performance of IXAN® and DIOFAN®, and see how they can offer consistent, reliable protection for the life of your products.
