Cups&trays

Many different grades of Soarnol® are available to meet today's needs. For barrier cups and trays, EVOH has to be designed to withstand the rigors of the thermoforming process used to produce these containers. In the case of low temperature or deep draw thermoforming, specialty Soarnol grades have been developed to achieve desired properties. Each is designed for a specific use in polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE) cup and tray applications.

Grades of Soarnol® have been, and continue to be, developed through appropriate product design tailored to individual customer needs. Each grade has been designed to exhibit excellent heat-resistant (long-run) processability, preventing burnt deposits and the like and also reducing the percentage of defective products.
