Description

High-performance barrier films for food packaging must balance oxygen and moisture protection, processability, recyclability, and global regulatory compliance. This advanced training focuses on how material selection and multilayer architecture translate into real barrier performance under industrial conditions. Participants will examine the role of key barrier polymers such as EVOH, PA, PET, and metallized or oxide-coated structures, and how thickness distribution and layer positioning control OTR, WVTR, and aroma retention. Beyond material fundamentals, the session addresses co-extrusion, lamination, and coating strategies used to achieve high barrier without compromising sealability, machinability, or cost. Special emphasis is placed on emerging challenges, including mono-material design for recyclability, replacement of PVDC and aluminum structures, and compliance with EU food contact and sustainability regulations. The training also covers failure modes frequently seen in production, such as barrier loss due to humidity exposure, interlayer adhesion problems, and performance variability across supply chains. The focus throughout is on decision-grade formulation and structure design, enabling packaging professionals to extend shelf life, meet regulatory requirements, and deliver commercially viable high-barrier solutions.

Why you should not miss the training?

Attending this training will equip you with knowledge on how to use new polymers and materials to produce high barrier film products also;

1. Design multilayer structures that meet barrier and recyclability targets: Balance EVOH content, layer placement, and mono-material requirements without performance loss.

2. Avoid costly barrier failures during production and distribution: Understand humidity sensitivity, delamination risks, and real-world performance degradation mechanisms.

3. Replace PVDC, aluminum, or complex laminates confidently: Evaluate alternative materials and coatings that meet regulatory and sustainability demands.

4. Align barrier performance with food shelf-life requirements: Translate OTR, WVTR, and thickness decisions into product protection outcomes.

5. Make packaging decisions that survive regulatory and cost reviews: Integrate compliance, recyclability, and economics into defensible structure design.
