Overall, industrial Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) procurement is influenced by its usage in the packaging market and multilayer structures, along with its eco-friendly nature and advancements in food processing techniques.

Raw Material for Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) Production

According to the Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) include Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate.

Production Process of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH)

The extensive Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• From Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate: The production of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) consists of several steps. First, polymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate takes place. After this reaction, a copolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), is formed. Then EVA goes through hydrolysis converting it into ethylene vinyl alcohol.

Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol has a chemical formula of (C2H4O)x(C2H4)y. Its density may vary between the range of 1.14 - 1.19 g/cc, depending upon its composition. Its melting point ranges between 165 - 190 °C. It is a polymer material with excellent gas barrier properties. The glass transition temperature varies from 55°C to 69°C, while the melt flow index ranges from 1.14 to 8.5 g per 10 min at 210°C, depending on the specific grade. It exhibits good solubility in solvents like DMSO and shows limited solubility in most other solvents. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful as a packaging material.
