EVOH Oxygen Barrier Thermoformed Plastic Meat Trays

EVOH High Barrier Tray refers to a type of packaging tray used in the food industry that incorporates ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) as a barrier material to protect food from external contaminants and extend its shelf life. MAP stands for Modified Atmosphere Packaging, which means that the tray is filled with a specific gas mixture that helps maintain the quality and freshness of the food inside.

EVOH is a highly effective oxygen barrier material that prevents the ingress of oxygen, which can cause oxidation and spoilage of food products. The EVOH Barrier PP Trays are typically made by thermoforming, which involves heating and shaping the plastic into the desired shape. The EVOH barrier layer is sandwiched between layers of other materials, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), to provide additional strength and rigidity to the tray.

MAP Trays are commonly used for packaging meat, poultry, seafood, and other perishable food products that require a longer shelf life. The gas mixture used in MAP trays typically consists of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2), which help to slow down the growth of bacteria and fungi and prevent spoilage of the food. The exact gas mixture used can vary depending on the type of food and the desired shelf life.

Overall, EVOH Barrier PP Trays are an effective and popular packaging solution in the food industry for preserving the quality and safety of food products.
