Alternatives to EVA in Packaging Applications, 2000 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
Brad S. Westbrook--Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers are widely used in a variety of food and industrial packaging applications. These materials possess a unique combination of sealability, strength, and clarity. As demands for packaging applications have increased, the need for more versatile resins has arisen. High performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins now provide advantages in the areas of sealability, strength, and optical properties.
