Is your customer’s beverage losing its fizz in polyester (PET) containers? The SP434 grade ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) from this manufacturer is said to enhance the existing barrier properties of PET without adversely affecting clarity. The resin helps keep oxygen out of the container but also ensures that the CO2 contained in the bottle remains there and does not escape through PET container walls, even when downsizing is an issue. The SP grade can be used to process co-injected barrier performs as well as stretch blowmolded bottles.EVAL Europe NV, Zwijndrecht, Belgium; +32 2-509745; www.eval.be
