PLANTIC™ and Kuraray In 2015, Kuraray announced the purchase of Plantic Technologies Ltd. of Australia, to enhance the range of barrier polymers that they currently offer to the market. These include: EVAL™ EVOH, a superior barrier polymer used as resin for coextrusion and coninjection, and as monolayer film for lamination, KURARISTER™ transparent retortable flims for lamination, and EXCEVAL™ water soluble EVOH used for solution coating.
Kuraray has one of the largest and most complete barrier polymer portfolios with productıon sites around the world. This market only contınues to grow as Kuraray contınues to invest in the EVAL productıon faciliıes in the Americas and Europe to increase capacity.
PLANTIC™ PLANTIC™ is designed to meet the growing world demand for a sustainable approach to plastics technology. With a high renewable content, environmental and superior technical characteristıcs, let the PLANTIC™ range of products enhance your packaging requirements.
A wide range of PLANTIC™ materials are manufactured to meet customer requirements using modern technology. Thin layers of PET, PE or PBS are adhered to the core layer of renewably sourced high barrier PLANTIC™ HP sheet.
Our ongoing commitment to better support the global demand for sustainable packaging means we are contınuously testıng new material structures.

Unlike other providers, whose primary material is developed in a refinery, PLANTIC™’s is grown in a field. We have developed a biodegradable, renewable, organic alternatıve to conventıonal plastics based on high amylose corn starch.
The thickness of the PLANTIC™ HP layer used in the final structure can be varied to meet consumers desired performance as well as sustainably credentıals.
