Advantages of Nylon
Nylon enhances packaging strength and barrier performance for products requiring extended shelf life and protection.
-
Superior Puncture Resistance
Ideal for sharp-edged, heavy, or dense products during transport and handling. -
High Oxygen Barrier
Helps preserve freshness, aroma, and product integrity over longer periods. -
Thermal Stability
Performs well in hot-fill, vacuum, and frozen packaging conditions. -
Chemical & Oil Resistance
Suitable for fatty foods, industrial products, and aggressive contents. -
Lamination Versatility
Integrates seamlessly with PE, PET, and EVOH for advanced packaging structures.
Limitations of Nylon
Nylon offers performance advantages but requires careful design for cost and moisture control.
Considerations
-
Higher material cost compared to PE-based structures
-
Moderate moisture barrier; often paired with PE or EVOH
-
Rarely used alone—typically part of multi-layer laminates
- Recycling complexity increases in multi-material constructions
Different Uses of Nylon
-
Food Packaging
Used for vacuum packs, meat, seafood, cheese, and frozen foods requiring strength and gas control. -
FMCG & Specialty Products
Ideal for premium products where durability and shelf life are critical. -
Industrial Packaging
Suitable for chemicals, engineering components, and heavy-duty applications. -
Medical & Pharmaceutical
Used where contamination resistance and structural integrity are essential.
