About Barrier Materials
Barrier materials are the polymers that are used to stop the penetration of small atmospheric and molecular gases, such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, volatile flavor nitrogen compounds, water vapor, and aromatic compounds into packaging material. Barrier materials excel with regard to their chemical and physical properties, for example, high stability, exceptional optical properties, high mechanical durability, exceptional chemical and environmental properties, and high heat resistance. Currently, barrier materials have high potential to resolve various material challenges in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and beverage, and agriculture end-use industries.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global barrier materials market to grow at a CAGR of 7.14% during the period 2016-2020.
