Nichigo G-Polymer™ from Soarus LLC is a high amorphous content vinyl alcohol resin where crystallinity can be tailored down to the point of total amorphous character.
By
The gas barrier properties and chemical resistance of Nichigo G-Polymer
are similar to PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and EVOH (ethylene vinyl
alcohol copolymer) resins, along with water solubility and low
crystallinity. The polymer features: co-extrudable grade for biodegradablity; high
barrier for packaging; water solubility for films, fibers, and
coatings; water solutions for emulsions and dispersions. Nichigo G-Polymer also has provides extrudability, orientability,
shrinkability and transparency, and is suitable for melt-spinning,
oriented film, transparent containers, injection molding and more. It
is also biocompostable.
