Global and China High Barrier Material Industry Report, 2013-2016
Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC), Ethylene / Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH), Polyethylene Naphthalate
(PEN) are three well-known high barrier materials in the market.
Featured with strong gas barrier property,
organic solvent resistance, environmental protection and safety, these materials are widely used in food, drug
packaging and other fields.
By 2012, the global PVDC resin capacity had been 214Kt, mainly contributed by Dow Chemical, Kureha,
Asahi Kasei and other companies.
Meanwhile, major Chinese PVDC resin producers included Juhua
(capacity: 28 Kt/a) and Nantong Hui Yu Feng New Materials (a joint venture of Shuanghui, Kureha and
Toyota Tsusho) (capacity: 10 Kt/a).
In 2013, Juhua will expand the PVDC resin capacity to 34Kt/a, while in
2014，Nantong Hui Yu Feng New Materials will raise the PVDC resin capacity to 20Kt/a.
In China, PVDC resin is usually applied to the production of PVDC casing film.
